text: A teenage suspect has been arrested in connection with fatally shooting a mother of four after a road rage incident last week, police said Thursday. 
   
   "It is believed right now he is the only shooter, but there is another suspect involved in the incident," Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Capt. Christopher Tomaino said. 
   
   Erich Nowsch, 19, was arrested early Thursday afternoon after a brief standoff at a home a block away from the scene of the Feb. 12 shooting.

   Police said Nowsch shot Tammy Meyers, 44, outside her home around 11:22 p.m. that night, and she died two days later. He faces charges of murder, attempted murder and discharging a gun in a vehicle. 
   
   The shooting occurred after Meyers was confronted by an angry driver in a road rage incident earlier that night, as she was heading home with her daughter.

   Police said that after Meyers got home, she and her 22-year-old armed son went out looking for that driver and followed a car she believed was the same as the one involved in the earlier incident. They stopped following that car and went back home, and that's when a silver or gray car pulled up and someone inside began shooting, police said. 
   
   Meyers’ husband, Robert, said the family is familiar with the suspect. 
   
   "We know this boy. I couldn't tell you this before," Robert Meyers told reporters outside his home after the arrest. "He knew where I lived. We knew how bad he was, but we didn’t know he was this bad." 
   
   Robert Meyers said his wife "spent countless hours at that park consoling this boy," that she fed him and gave him money, and that "she told him to pull his pants up and to be a man, more times than I can count." 
   
   Meyers’ son shot back after the gunman opened fire on them that night, police said. The firearm her son used is properly registered, according to authorities.

   "I did what I had to do to protect my family. Everyone can think what they have to think; I did it for a reason. And I'd do it for anyone I love," Meyers' son, Brandon, said at a vigil Tuesday. 
   
   Nowsch also had firearms registered to him, Tomaino said. He did not specify how many weapons Nowsch had or what kind they were. 
   
   As Nowsch was apprehended on Thursday, Robert Meyers lashed out at reporters, saying, "Are you happy? you made my wife look like an animal, and my son! There’s the animal! A block away! Are you happy?" ||||| Las Vegas (CNN) Tammy Meyers and Erich Nowsch were neighbors. Their homes are walking distance from each other and from a park. 
   
   It was in that park where, according to Meyers' husband, she used to talk to the young man, where she implored him to act like an adult. 
   
   On Thursday, Nowsch was arrested, accused of killing Meyers in what has been described as a road rage incident that ended a week ago with a shooting in front of Meyers' home. 
   
   "We know this boy. I couldn't tell you this before," Robert Meyers told reporters after the arrest. "He knew where I lived. We knew how bad he was, but we didn't know it was this bad. That he'd gotten to this point, and his friends." 
   
   Nowsch, 19, faces three felony charges: murder, attempted murder and unlawful discharge of a gun from a vehicle. A Monday morning court hearing has been scheduled.

   Robert Meyers said his wife tried to help Nowsch. 
   
   "My wife spent countless hours at that park consoling this boy," he said. "She was really good to him. She fed him, she gave him money. She told him to pull his pants up and to be a man. More times than I can count." 
   
   Police said they are looking for at least one more suspect, but they believe Nowsch was the shooter. Homicide Capt. Chris Tomaino told reporters that he owned registered firearms but wouldn't say how many guns or what type of weapons they were. 
   
   It was unclear Thursday night whether Nowsch had an attorney; court documents detailing his charges didn't list a lawyer. 
   
   Nowsch was taken into custody in the afternoon after a brief, tense standoff at his mother's home, which is one street over from the Meyers' house. 
   
   Police have said the shooting followed a road-rage incident that took place last week near a junior high school where Meyers gave her 15-year-old daughter a night-time driving lesson. 
   
   As Meyers drove the less than half mile home, a car sped by and her daughter reached over and honked at the driver. Police said the car stopped and the driver got out to confront the Meyerses. 
   
   Robert Meyers told HLN's Nancy Grace on Thursday that the man threatened to kill his wife and daughter. 
   
   Tammy Meyers, 44, took off for home and sent her daughter inside. Lt. Ray Steiber, a Las Vegas homicide detective, said earlier this week that the daughter was asked to send her 22-year-old brother out. He brought with him a gun he owned. 
   
   Steiber said Meyers then went looking for the road rage suspect, but, according to her husband, she just wanted to keep the situation away from the house. 
   
   "She just didn't want it to come back here. She tried to get him to go somewhere else," he said. 
   
   Robert Meyers, who was out of town when his wife was shot, said the other car followed the Meyers and at some point away from the house there were gunshots. 
   
   Tammy Meyers fled home and told her son to take cover as she parked in front of the house. The car -- with three people inside, the family has said -- approached. 
   
   Meyers' son told police that they were fired upon, and he defended him and his mother. His father says he took three or four shots and found his mother mortally wounded. 
   
   The father defended the family against criticism that they should have gone into the house when mother and daughter arrived after the road rage incident. 
   
   "My son is a good boy. His mom was a good mommy," Robert Meyers said.

   During a standoff at Nowsch's house earlier Thursday, Robert Meyers chastised reporters, whom he felt were placing blame on his loved ones. 
   
   "Are you all happy? You made my wife look like an animal ... and my son. There's the animal, a block away. Are you happy?" Robert Meyers screamed. 
   
   Police are looking for a second suspect, Tomaino, the homicide captain, said. He wouldn't say whether that person was the suspect depicted in a drawing handed out by police. 
   
   The captain said authorities were unaware until Thursday that the Meyers family knew Nowsch. 
   
   He is being held at the Clark County Detention Center.
target: – Police yesterday arrested a suspect in the recent road rage slaying of a Las Vegas woman—and the two knew each other. Erich Milton Nowsch was arrested at a home only about a block away from where victim Tammy Meyers lived; he faces charges of murder and attempted murder and is believed to be 19, reports the Review-Journal. Meyers, a 44-year-old mother of four, was shot to death outside her house on Feb. 12. Robert Meyers says his wife knew Nowsch and had previously given him food and money. "We knew how bad he was, but we didn't know he was this bad," he told reporters, per NBC News. "[Tammy] spent countless hours at that park consoling this boy ... and she told him to pull his pants up and to be a man, more times than I can count." "Are you all happy? You made my wife look like an animal ... and my son," Robert Meyers screamed at reporters yesterday, reports CNN. "There's the animal, a block away. Are you happy?" Her husband's outburst of anger stems from a twist in the case: Police revealed that Meyers had actually returned home from an initial encounter with the suspect, picked up her armed 22-year-old son, and drove off again apparently in search of Nowsch. She was killed during a shootout as they returned home from that trip. Robert Meyers says the man threatened to kill his wife and daughter, who was in the car during the first encounter. "Yes, maybe in a make-up world she should have stayed home," he wrote in a text to a CNN producer. "Please remember statement from this animal, 'I'm going to kill you and your daughter.'" Police say they are looking for a second suspect but say that Nowsch was the shooter.
