Las Vegas man Erich Nowsch Jr. indicted for murder in shooting of mother of four
LAS VEGAS - A 19-year-old man has been indicted on murder and other charges in the shooting death of a mother of four in a neighborhood gunbattle.
The indictment filed Friday accuses defendant Erich Milton Nowsch Jr. of murder, attempted murder and firing a weapon from a vehicle.
The shooting was initially characterized as road rage but was later found to involve more complex relationships.
The indictment doesn't name a getaway driver in the Feb. 12 killing of 44-year-old Tammy Meyers.
Her Meyers' husband Robert Meyers says she took their daughter home after a late-night driving lesson and fetched her 22-year-old son with his gun to find a driver who frightened her earlier.
Police say the son fired several shots at Nowsch during the fatal shootout in a cul-de-sac outside the Meyers' home.
