The man selling gun to McNair mistress was indicted

Adrian J. Gilliam Jr. was charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Sounds like a common case. But you will not consider it uncommon if you know the man sold a gun to a young lady, who shot ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair to death two days later.


The man from La Vergne is accused of selling a loaded 9 mm pistol to Sahel Kazemi for $100. Two days later, the girl, who is known as McNair’s mistress, shot McNair at his downtown condo and then turned the gun to her own head. McNair was a married father of four while he was dating with Kazemi. The half-year relationship began after McNair retired from the NFL last year after playing for the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens.

Gilliam is now in federal custody. If he was convicted, he will have to remain there and face 10 years of imprisonment.
