Metro Police spokesman Don Aaron has confirmed that the victim in the double killing was not McNair's wife. The woman killed still has not been named.

Crime scene investigators are meticulously processing the scene, Aaron said.
"Once that processing is done I'll come out with further updates," Aaron said.

A Cadillac Escalade and a Lincoln Navigator were towed away from the scene.

UPDATED: 7:30 P.M.

The bodies of Steve McNair and an unidentified young woman were found today by a longtime friend of McNair’s.

Wayne Neely, who also rents a condominium with McNair, arrived to find the bodies inside the condo on Lea Avenue off Second Avenue South, said Metro police spokesman Don Aaron.

The building at 105 Lea Avenue is registered to Charles Cardwell.

McNair appears to have suffered multiple gunshot wounds, Aaron said.

Neely and another man, Robert Gaddy, were interviewed by police and released, Aaron said.

McNair, a hometown hero who did extensive charity work in Nashville, had several gunshot wounds, including one to the head. He was found on the sofa of a Second Avenue condominium that he rented, police said. Sahel Kazemi, 20, was found on the floor near him with a single gunshot wound to her head. A pistol was found near her body.

Metro police spokesman Don Aaron said investigators were not actively looking for suspects Saturday night but had not ruled out any scenarios. He stopped short of calling the deaths a murder-suicide, but said the police should be able to classify the deaths today after autopsies and forensic work.
