RIP, Steve.
That’s the most obvious explanation but we’ll have to wait for the autopsies and ballistics to see if that’s what happened or if it was staged to look like a murder-suicide.
It just doesn’t seem likely that a 20-year-old, even one on drugs, would empty a gun into a man twice her size yet save the last bullet for herself. Most girls that age don’t own a gun and don’t know how to use one.
Then there’s the chirpy ex-boyfriend who may have resented losing the girl he claimed to have lived with for four years (and they apparently both moved to Nashville from Jacksonville together) to a rich black superjock almost twice their age. I haven’t crossed him off the suspect list just yet. He watched the love of his life disappear to someone he couldn’t possibly compete with so perhaps this was his way of getting even.
And we have the anonymous story of McNair being threatened in a restaurant.
Murder/suicide seems to be the most plausible explanation but we’ll know if it is the right one if the autopsies and ballistics conclude it is.
