Mechelle Cartwright (also Mechelle Mcnair), wife of Steve Mcnair (photo here), could not cheer on the joys brought in by the celebration of Fourth of July. Instead, the Independence Day in 2009 was probably the most darkest day in the life of Mechelle Mcnair. Her husband Steve Mcnair, former NFL Pro-Bowler and Co-MVP, was found shot dead along with another woman inside an condominium in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.
Mechelle McNair, or Michelle Mcnair by many, married to Steve Mcnair, an Alan State University alum, in Mississippi June, 1997. Jockbio.com Steve Mcnair biography article noted their wedding was attended by more than 1,500 people, making it one of Mississippi’s biggest social events of the year.

Michelle and Steve had four sons together–Steve Jr., Steven, Tyler, and Trenton Mcnair. It’s unclear if the marriage of Mechelle and Steve had problems or not. But the clues may be found in today’s reports, as the unnamed woman died along with Steve Mcnair was described as his girlfriend (who has been identified as Sahel Kazemi, 20).

When Steve Mcnair shot dead news broke out, Mechelle McNair initially was mis-identified as the female victim in the double shootings murder by WSMV. The TV station had withdrawn the inaccurate report, according to Lalate. In fact, Mechelle was said to be “very distraught” over Steve’s death.
