The Steve McNair Murder Mystery
Netflix's UNTOLD premieres Volume 4, which investigates the murder of former NFL star Steve McNair, whose cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds. On July 4, 2009, Steve McNair died in an apparent murder-suicide at the hands of his then-girlfriend, Jenni Kazemi. She allegedly fatally shot the 36-year-old before turning the gun on herself. The anthology documentary series, set to air on August 20, 2024, delves into the mystery surrounding "Who Killed Steve McNair?" while also discussing other theories investigators believe happened.
According to The Tennessean, Steve McNair's cause of death was four gunshot wounds he sustained in the apparent murder-suicide. McNair's then-girlfriend, Sahel "Jenni" Kazemi, shot him four times before turning the gun on herself. The incident occurred at the former NFL star's apartment on Lea Avenue in Nashville. He was 36 and married at the time of his death, while Kamezi was 20 and worked as a waitress.
People Magazine reported that authorities, using evidence at the crime scene, were able to piece together a timeline of the murder-suicide. They believe Jenni Kazemi fired the first shot at Steve McNair as he sat on the couch, likely sleeping. The first bullet struck McNair on the left side of his head. Kazemi then shot him twice in the chest and a final time in the right side of his head.
