Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his "girlfriend," but that she wasn't home.
The apartment complex is about 10 miles from the Kansas City home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-month-old daughter Zoey. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility's parking lot, police said.
Police responded to a report about 2:50 a.m. Saturday of a man sleeping in his car outside an apartment building, police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was cooperative, Snapp said.

Just please don't turn Belcher into the victim.Now the NFL is being scrutinized.A head injury is not the driving force behind a jealous rage,and the gun did not shoot itself.Murder suicide plain and simple.

Are you a qualified brain doctor? Regardless, NFL has been needing some scrutinization for quite some time now.
Maybe this will be the push it needs.
And some good can come from this tragedy.
