This combo shows Steve McNair, left, in a 2003 season file photo and Sahel Kazemi is shown in this undated booking photo from the Davidson County Sheriff. McNair, who led the famous Tennessee Titans' drive that came a yard short of forcing overtime in the 2000 Super Bowl, was found dead Saturday July 4, 2009 with multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the head. Police said a pistol was discovered near the body of a woman, identified by Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron, as 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi also shot dead in a downtown condominium. She had a single gunshot wound to the head
The sister of Sahel Kazemi said their family is saddened and confused about Kazemi's death alongside former Tennessee Titan Steve McNair. The family said it has no idea what would have led to this.
Kazemi was from Florida, where her family still lives.
"She was happy with him," said Sepide Salmani, Kazemi's sister.
Salmani said McNair and Sahel met in January at Dave and Busters at Opry Mills Mall, where Kazemi was a waitress. McNair was her customer.
Salmani said the two began dating shortly after.
"She said he was about to get a divorce very soon, about two weeks, I guess, and they were going to move in together," said Salmani.
Salmani said McNair and Kazemi were going to move in together at the condo where they were found shot to death. There is no divorce case pending in Nashville court.
Police haven't ruled anything out, including the possibility this may be a murder-suicide, but Kazemi's family finds that hard to believe.
"She was very loving," said Salmani. "She would never hurt a person."
Salmani said her father is trying to be calm but that her mother is angry.
Kazemi's body is being sent back to Florida for burial.
