At the time of his death, McNair was married to his wife Mechelle for 12 years, and had three children.
According to testimony, he had told Kazemi that he was planning to get a divorce from his wife and would openly discuss adopting children and starting a life together.
Following a police investigation, it was judged that Kazemi had killed McNair in a murder suicide after discovering he was involved with other women.
