Steve McNair's death at the hands of Sahel Kazemi shocked the sports world, but events a few days prior to the murder - suicide showed the relationship was in turmoil. The question, which may never be answered, is now did jealousy over Leah Ignagni have anything to do with the crime?
You recall form the DUI incident we reported earlier, that Sahel Kazemi co-owned a black Cadillac Escalade with Steve McNair. According to new reports, Leah Ignagni recalled seeing a woman in a black Cadillac Escalade parked outside Steve McNair's condo two or three weeks before his murder.
Additionally, Leah Ignani said the car and the woman inside followed her. She added that she saw the Escalade circling her block or parked outside her apartment a week or two later. It's an obvious leap with the information that Sahel Kazemi and Steve McNair co-owned an Escalade (and a black one) that Kazemi was "stalking" Ignani.
What might have set Sahel Kazemi off was the fact that after the DUI arrest we wrote about earlier, and after bailing out Kazemi, McNair reportedly visited Leah Ignagni. He then spent the rest of the night at Ignagni's apartment before leaving early July 3rd.
Steve McNair was married and had children at the time of these relationships. He refused to divorce his wife, although reportedly Sahel Kazemi wanted to marry him. It's unclear how Leah Ignani felt about this all, but the murder-suicide was a tragic end to a storied life on NFL stardom.
