Forensic tests: Steve McNair likely killed by girlfriend Sahel Kazemi


Gunshot residue was found on the left hand of 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, girlfriend of slain ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair.


Forensic test results released Wednesday show that NFL quarterback Steve McNair was most likely gunned down by his suicidal girlfriend, officials said.

Gunshot residue was found on the left hand of 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi and none was found on McNair's hands, leading investigators to conclude he was the victim of a murder-suicide, said Feng Li, assistant medical examiner for Metropolitan Nashville.

"This is consistent with the theory that she shot herself," Li told the Daily News.

McNair and Kazemi were found shot to death Sunday in her Nashville condo.

He had been shot four times, including twice in the head. She was shot once in the head.
