But there are still a lot of unanswered questions in the case. Here’s a look at some of them:
Who is the suspect, Erich Milton Nowsch?
Authorities have identified the alleged gunman as Erich Milton Nowsch Jr., who was arrested after a tense standoff Thursday.
He will face murder and two other felony charges, according to court documents. The other two counts are attempted murder and discharge of a firearm from a vehicle.
Who is the victim, Tammy Meyers?
She’s a 44-year-old mother of four and grandmother of one, described by her husband as “a beautiful woman” who loved him, “her kids and … a lot of other people.”
“She never did anything bad to anybody,” her husband Robert Meyers said.
Nor did she put up with nonsense, he added, explaining that “if she was in the Marines, she would have been a master sergeant.”
And, Robert Meyers added, “She hated bullies.”
What was she doing the night of February 12?
Giving her 15-year-old daughter a driving lesson.

In the same Facebook post, Meyers said all money raised for the family via GoFundMe — an account that Meyers said a friend started — will be returned. The related GoFundMe page has been shut down.
Did the suspect and Meyers know each other?
But Robert Meyers told reporters that his family knew the accused gunman.
“We know this boy. He knew where I lived,” he said.
What’s the status of the investigation?
Calling it an “open and ongoing investigation,” Steiber said authorities are still piecing together exactly what happened and who is responsible.
Police are using video and other evidence to try and get “an accurate timeline and an accurate depiction of what occurred,” Steiber said.
“That takes time.”
The detective did say that authorities don’t have any reason to believe that this incident is tied to anything else.
Police believe it was “an isolated incident involving road rage that ended in a tragic murder,” he said.
