While relatives of Sahel Kazemi describe her as happy person and a young woman sure boyfriend and former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was going to divorce his wife and the two to move in together, recent events had her showing signs of distress.

According to Metro police, Kazemi, who shot and killed McNair before taking her own life Saturday, was struggling to make two car payments, her roommate was also about to move out, forcing her to pay all the rent and she believed McNair was having an affair with another woman.

In addition, McNair reportedly stood her up in Las Vegas two weeks ago and last Thursday, she was pulled over in downtown Nashville and charged with DUI.

McNair was a passenger in the SUV when Kazemi was pulled over, as was Vent Gordon, a chef a McNair's newly opened restaurant, Gridiron 9.

Gordon, who describes himself as a longtime friend of McNair, said he was like a big brother to the former NFL star.

"I loved him. I am going to miss him. He was my friend," Gordon told News 2 Wednesday, the same day Metro police ruled McNair's death a murder-suicide.

Gordon was the third person in the Escalade McNair and Kazemi shared when Kazemi was stopped on Lower Broadway just before 1:30 a.m. July 2.
