Las Vegas Metropolitan Police arrested Erich Nowsch, 19, on Thursday one block away from where 44-year-old Tammy Meyers was shot outside her home Feb. 12. She died two days later at the hospital.
Meyers was giving her 15-year-old daughter a driving lesson on Feb. 12. As they drove home, they almost collided with another vehicle, which caused a confrontation with several other people in the other car.
She went home after the dispute, got her son with his registered firearm and followed a car she thought was involved in the incident, police said. Shortly after arriving back home with her son, a silver or gray sedan pulled up and opened fire. Her son shot back.
Meyers' husband, Robert Meyers, arrived on the scene of the standoff Thursday and yelled at police and the media.
"There's the (expletive) who killed my wife," he told a police officer.
"Are you all happy?" he then yelled at a group of reporters who had gathered. "You made my wife look like an animal ... and my son. There's the animal, a block away. Are you happy?"
Nowsch faces charges of murder, attempted murder and discharge of a firearm from a vehicle.
