Wednesday, July 8, 2009
(Nashville Metro Police) - Detectives investigating the shooting deaths of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi have learned that the pistol believed to have been used, the same one recovered at the crime scene, was purchased by Kazemi from a private individual Thursday night.
Ballistics and gunshot residue tests are being conducted by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratory. No classification of Kazemi’s death will be made until that testing is completed.
Based on the evidence available and the processing of the crime scene, detectives believe a total five shots were fired inside the condominium. Four bullets struck McNair. One bullet struck Kazemi.
Kazemi’s former boyfriend, Keith Norfleet, was interviewed by detectives at police headquarters Sunday evening. He was fully cooperative.
Detectives are continuing to talk to persons who knew McNair and Kazemi as they work to learn the circumstances behind the shooting deaths.
