The woman found dead with former Titan’s quarterback Steve McNair, Shaleh Kazemi, had a sister who spoke out and said she was a young woman who wanted to have fun and was incapable of hurting herself or anyone else.
Sepideh Salmani is actually the victim’s niece but was raised with Kazemi as a sister after her family adopted Salmani when she was 9 after her mother was killed in Iran, her native country. Salmani said she talked to her sister everyday and said she was content with her relationship with McNair, reports USA Today.
She said she does’ not believe her sister killed herself or McNair.
“She was one, young girl who had so many dreams that they never came true,” Salmani said. “She would never kill anyone, ever. Or anything. Not even a little bug. I want people to know that.”
McNair was found sitting on the sofa and had suffered four gunshot wounds, while Kazemi was lying on the floor and had only suffered one gunshot wound to the temple. The gun was found underneath her he body.
A neighbor, Reagan Howard, who lives in the apartment complex where the bodies were found, said she didn’t know if it was Kazemi or McNair’s apartment because he was there so often.
“She was such a nice girl,” Howard said. “I can’t believe she would do that.”
When McNair got her the Escalade, Howard said, she had to help her figure out how to use the remote starter.
Salmani said she had been talking to her sister for several months about her relationship with McNair.
“He started to talk to her a little,” Salmani said. “They exchanged phone numbers, and started dating from there.”
Kazemi told her sister that McNair was in the process of divorcing his wife.
“That’s why she was like, ‘OK, now you’re divorcing. We can date,’” Salmani said. “He told her, it was going to be finished, the whole divorce was going to be done, two weeks from yesterday.”
Salmani said her sister believed that she and McNair would move in together once the divorce was final, and eventually marry.
Davidson County’s court record show no pending divorce for McNair and his wife Mechelle. McNair’s widow has yet to speak publicly about the murders, police say she is distraught over his death.
“All she was trying to do was have fun,” Salmani said. “Nothing else. I believe there is a third person involved.” Salmani believes jealous people in McNair’s life are the reason her sister is dead.
Her greatest dream, Salmani said, was to be famous.
“I think she is now,” she said. “She is everywhere.”

Sahel Kazemi is one innocent victim’s name. It is quite unfortunate that her struggle for existence is mis-interpreted.
She was cheated most meanest way by one of those human-bug.
all the human being from those cheap-famed bugs.
May god bless her sacred soul with all the peace, relief and happiness.
