Arrest in McNair Murder Case

Adrian J. GilliamThe guy who allegedly sold the gun that killed Steve McNair -- a man named Adrian J. Gilliam Jr. (left) -- has been arrested by ATF agents in Nashville, Tenn.

McNair's mistress, Sahel Kazemi, bought the gun on July 2 -- two days before she murdered Steve and then killed herself.

Prosecutors are expected to announce the charges against Gilliam this afternoon.

UPDATE: Gilliam has been charged with illegally possessing a firearm. A big no-no for the convicted felon.

Gilliam was convicted of murder and attempted armed robbery in 1993.

1. Yeah it makes total sense to arrest the guy who sold the gun...it can't just be a simple case of murder/suicide; someone has to be blamed.

3. UH?!!!
If he sold the gun legally with all the legal papers...like everybody else. but if he sold it ILLEGALLY without legal documents....ie: wait 7 days period...blah blabh whatver time period they have to wait....then he can be charged for selling the gun without documents and without wait periods and checks....
The guy supposed to fill out papers for checks and make documents on the gun sale.

But if he did it legally to a "T", why should he be charged? If illegally, then he is done for. too bad.

6. I blame OBAMA - let's have him arrested and sent to prision for life for what he has done in the short time in office to destroy AMERICA. That is the real crime here. McNair got what he deserved for cheating. Dirt Bag Cheater.

11. What was the crime. It is not illegal to legally sell someone a gun. Car manufacturers cannot be held accountable if people use their car in a illegal way. He will not get convicted. Harvey what is the crime?
