Road Rage Shooting May Have Been Drug Related

On February 12, Tammy Myers was murdered in an apparent road rage shooting.

She was shot in front of her home, five miles west of the Las Vegas Strip, just after she had been giving her 15 year old daughter a driving lesson in a nearby parking lot. According to her family, there was an incident between 45 year old Myers and a suspect in the parking lot and he then followed her back to her home and shot her dead.

The suspect was 19 year old Erich Nowsch, who lived only one block from the Meyers and he was arrested following a standoff with the police and is now facing a murder charge

However, more information has now been revealed, and it appears that Meyers returned to her home to drop her daughter off following the driving lesson, but then she took her 22 year old son, who was armed, and the two of them went to look for Nowsch following the car park incident. There was then a second confrontation which led to the fatal shooting which happened in front of her home.

Initially the family of Meyers said nothing about knowing Nowsch, stating that they were scared to reveal that information. Tammy’s husband, Robert Meyers, went on to say that his wife had spent hours with Nowsch at a nearby park counseling him.

However, local man Robert Selig, aged 47, says that Tammy would go to the park to buy pharmaceutical drugs from Nowsch as he sold them every day there, and that the shooting of Tammy was a drug deal gone bad.
