Man indicted in gun sale to Steve McNair mistress
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A convicted felon accused of selling the gun used to kill ex-NFL quarterback Steve McNair has been indicted on a firearm charge.
A federal grand jury in Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday charged Adrian J. Gilliam Jr. with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Gilliam, of La Vergne, is accused of selling a loaded 9 mm pistol to McNair’s mistress, Sahel Kazemi, for $100 two days before McNair was shot.
Police said the 20-year-old waitress shot McNair at his downtown condo July 4 before turning the gun on herself.
Gilliam remains in federal custody and faces 10 years in prison if convicted.
McNair, a married father of four, retired from the NFL last year after playing for the Tennessee Titans and the Baltimore Ravens.
