Nashville police say that they have been reluctant to rule the deaths of former Titans and Ravens quarterback Steve McNair and his girlfriend, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, a murder-suicide because of a lack of evidence of motive.
In other words, there were no prior signs of trouble. No restraining orders or arrests or 911 calls.
As to the latter, Kazemi made such a call regarding her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Keith Norfleet.
Per NewsChannel5.com in Nashville, Kazemi called for help after Norfleet allegedly assaulted her in January 2009.
“My boyfriend just threw my phone right in my face, and he’s going crazy, and I don’t want him here,” Kazemi said.
A police report of simple assault was filed, but Kazemi did not press charges.
Police consistently have said that Norfleet is not a suspect, and we continue to believe that he isn’t.
But we also continue to believe that this case is more complex than it seems.
