ATF agents have arrested the man who sold the gun that killed Steve McNair, the AP reports. The suspect, Adrian J. Gilliam Jr., has prior convictions for murder and attempted robbery. He admits he sold a fully loaded 9mm pistol to McNair’s girlfriend in a mall parking lot 2 days before the shooting. As a convicted felon, Gilliam isn’t allowed to own firearms.
Sahel “Jenny” Kazemi and Gilliam met when Kazemi was trying to sell her car, police said. She mentioned that she was in the market for a gun, and Gilliam said he could supply one. Police believe she used it to shoot McNair in the head and then take her own life.
