LAS VEGAS (AP) – Robert Meyers thinks his 44-year-old wife realized she was in danger, and was fatally wounded after trying to lure a vehicle and motorist who threatened her away from her home.
That’s not road rage, that’s intentional, Meyers said in an interview at a coffee shop after a court appearance by the suspect, his 19-year-old neighbor, Erich Milton Nowsch Jr.
“My wife was followed home and murdered,” Meyers said.
Nowsch was arrested Friday, a little more than a week after Tammy Meyers was fatally wounded by gunfire that police say came from a silver car that pursued Meyers and her 22-year-old son, Brandon Meyers, to the cul-de-sac outside their home.
Nowsch’s lawyers, brothers Conrad Claus and Augustus Claus, said outside court they also don’t believe the case involved road rage. They said they want to review police reports and video evidence before talking more about Nowsch’s defense.
