From he LVRJ: Las Vegas police made an arrest in a so-called road rage shooting death Thursday while the family of the woman killed revealed another detail they hid: They know the accused shooter.
Erich Nowsch, 19, was taken into custody in the west valley neighborhood where 44-year-old Tammy Meyers was shot Feb 12. She died two days later after being taken off life support.
Police said Nowsh is a gang member.
Robert Meyers Sr. said during a televised press conference that his wife often counseled Nowsch at park just down the block from where both families live. She also fed him and give him money.
“We know this boy — I couldn’t tell you this before. He knew where we lived,” the husband said. “We knew how bad he was, but we didn’t know that he was this bad, that he’s gotten to this point, and his friends.
And that was news to police.
“That didn’t all come together until today,” Las Vegas police Capt. Chris Tomaino said later about the connection between Nowsch and the Meyers.
The family’s narrative of what led to the shooting of Tammy Meyers has changed continually since police started investigating. And with each turn in the story, it looks less and less like a simple case of road rage. It has prompted public outcries where there was once sympathy.
Letting the public know his family knew Nowsch “would’ve hurt what these good Metro detectives were trying to accomplish,” Robert Meyers Sr. said Thursday.
“There was things that couldn’t be said. Things that had to be said certain ways to get what we had done today, because there is more than one guy” involved in the shooting.
The house where Nowsch was arrested is a stone’s throw from the Meyers; both are visible from each other’s yards. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/las-vegas/family-knows-man-arrested-shooting-initially-called-road-rage
Another thug arrested in Vegas for murder.
This case cries out for the death penalty... as if Nevada would have the balls to execute anybody, especially since we don't have a place to carry out the death penalty.
