There is some speculation that it may have been a murder-suicide.

Here's the latest....

- He was found on the couch with multiple gunshot wounds, including a shot to the head

-She was found on the floor with a single gunshot wound to the head and the gun near her body

- The Escalade she drove was registered to her and McNair with McNair's restaurant as the address

- The door was locked.

- McNair's car arrived at the condo around 1:30am, the girl's Escalade was already there

- The condo is co-rented by McNair and another friend

- The friend went to the condo this afternoon. The door was locked. Noticed the two of them in the living room but didn't notice anything wrong, so he continued on to the kitchen. When he went past the living room next he saw blood and called ..... another friend. That friend went to the condo and then called the police.

- The girl was pulled over for DUI a few nights ago in the Escalade, McNair was the passenger.

- The girl worked at Dave & Busters at a local mall.


It's looking more and more like it may in fact have been a murder-suicide.

It's official, his death has been ruled a homicide, her death is currently "unclassified."

If her death is unclassified, then wouldn't it still be un-official. I mean it is not real hard to figure out his was a homicide.

Well according to the TN Police, they have official ruled his death a homicide and until they perform "her" autopsy she is considered "unclassified"....that's there unofficial way of saying she pulled the trigger on both of them.

She died from a single gunshot wound to the head and the gun was under her body....
