Robert Meyers Doubts Wife’s Slaying Was Road Rage

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.

Meyers said that at least once, Tammy Meyers gave the teen $20 when he said he was hungry. Meyers also recalled Nowsch earning pocket money washing cars outside the Meyers family home.

The teen and the neighborhood mom may have seen each other in passing the weekend of Feb. 7-8, when Tammy Meyers walked the family dogs in the park where Nowsch often sat at a picnic bench with other teens, Robert Meyers said.

“Bunch of troublemakers,” Robert Meyers said. “I wouldn’t allow my kids to hang out with them.” But he denied there was any bad blood.

Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield said investigators are still trying to locate the silver vehicle’s driver, who has not been identified.
