The suspect in a so-called 'road-rage' slaying boasted about the shooting and told friends that he emptied several clips from his semi-automatic weapon in the gun battle that killed a Las Vegas mother-of-four, according a police report released on Friday.

The report sheds new light on the violent encounter between 19-year-old suspect Erich Milton Nowsch Jr, victim Tammy Meyers and her 22-year-old son Brandon Meyers on February 12.

Police said Nowsch fired several shots at the mother and son on two occasions that night - once a few blocks away from their house and again in the cul-de-sac outside the home in a Las Vegas suburb.

Police said the teen told friends after the shooting: 'Got those kids. They were after me, and I got them.'

The police report does not clarify a nagging question about the investigation: what role road rage played in the altercation.

Family members said Tammy Meyers and her 15-year-old daughter exchanged words with another driver on February 12.

The mother was apparently giving her daughter a driving lesson in the family's green Buick Park Avenue.

Fearful of her life, Mrs Meyer then dropped the daughter off at home and picked up her son, who brought his 9mm handgun.

The police report said Nowsch told friends the altercation began after he saw someone in a green car in a nearby school parking lot waving a gun out the window and that they were looking for him.

According to the Review-Journal, Nowsch called a friend who came to pick him up in a silver car. There was apparently an exchange and then the green car followed the silver car.

Nowsch then told his friend that he though he saw 'a gun being pointed from the window of the green car so he put a clip in his gun and started shooting at the green car'.

The silver car followed the green car to a cul-de-sac and when it stopped outside the house, Nowsch allegedly began shooting again.

The teen also told friends he fired 22 shots from his .45-caliber gun outside the Meyers home, according to police.

Mrs Meyers' teenage daughter told police the man they encountered while driving got out of the driver's seat and said: 'I'm gonna come back for you and your daughter' according to ABC.

When they got home, the woman's son Brandon reportedly told his mother to come in and call the police.

However Mrs Meyers said that she was going to find the man and that Brandon should come with her 'or she would go by herself'.

ABC also reported that Nowsch was questioned on Tuesday while in juvenile detention on a separate matter but was released.

Nowsch fired his gun days after Tammy Meyers murder at this local park in Las Vegas, one local resident told Daily Mail Online on Friday

Daily Mail Online has learned Nowsch is believed to have been affiliated with a gang called Alpha Block. In a number of his Instagram pictures, he appears to be smoking marijuana

The disclosure that Tammy Meyers had taken a motherly interest in Nowsch following the suicide of his father five years ago provided another twist to a case that has posed more questions than answers.

With a suspect gunman in jail, police focused on Friday on finding an accomplice.

District Attorney Steve Wolfson said that despite 'a lot of twists and turns in the case,' he is confident police have the right man. He said he expects at least one more arrest in the coming days.

Police remained tight-lipped about their efforts, a day after homicide Captain Chris Tomaino told reporters that pieces of the puzzle would fit together once the case is turned over to prosecutors.

Tomaino said a sketch that had been circulated early in the investigation was no longer relevant.

Neighbors noticed when the 5'3 Nowsch was taken into custody on Thursday that he looked nothing like the 6-foot blond man police had described earlier.

Nowsch was arrested after SWAT teams surrounded his house a block from the Meyers home, in a middle-class neighborhood of modest stucco homes with tile roofs about 5 miles west of downtown Las Vegas.

Tammy Meyers, 44, was shot in the head on February in what initially appeared to be a cold-blooded, road-rage incident while giving her teenage daughter driving lessons

Nowsch faces charges of murder, attempted murder and unlawful discharge of a gun from a vehicle following the fatal shooting of Mrs Meyers on February 12.

Daily Mail Online has now learned from a resident in the Las Vegas suburb, where both the victim and the suspect lived, that Nowsch had taken his gun to Ansan Park, a hot spot for local gangs, last week.

Jenica, 19, who is heavily pregnant, told Daily Mail Online that she used to hang out with Eric, who is also known as Baby G, before he started showing off the weapon.

She said: 'We used to chill at the park and lots of people used to come over there. He was usually on a skateboard. He talked about his homies and he talked about gangs.

'He was showing his gun off - he shot it in the park in the middle of the night last week.'

Nowsch is due in court in Las Vegas, Nevada on Monday morning.

Authorities were still searching for a second suspect on Friday, who may have been driving the car.

Nowsch, 19, was taken into custody in connection with the shooting of a mother-of-four, Tammy Meyers on Thursday afternoon. He is now being held without bail on murder charges

It is illegal to buy a handgun if you are under 21 years of age, and it's believed the gun carried by Nowsch was unlicensed.

Melissa Mours, who lives next door to Nowsch and his 44-year-old mother Kathleen, told Daily Mail Online: 'I've seen him carrying his gun recently, he brags about it. He came over and was talking one day and pulled up his shirt to show me.'

Nowsch's mother, Kathleen, is a single mom who raised her son alone after his drug-addict father left the family. She also has a one-month-old daughter

Ms Mours, 30, said: 'He's not licensed to have a gun, he's only 19. And I know he's had police troubles before.

'He hangs out with a lot of rough kids, and the kids are on the ghetto side. He's always hanging out with the same group, over in the park.'

The neighbor said she was the one who called Nowsch's distraught mom, Kathleen Bobin, to come home after the SWAT team descended on Thursday.

Ms Mours added: 'Kathleen is sweet, a great lady, and I feel so bad that she's going through all this with him.'

The 30-year-old said the suspect's mother has been coping as best she can but has a hard time as a single mother, and also has a one-month-old daughter to take care of, as well as her full-time job as an accountant.

Ms Mours said Kathleen raised her son alone after his father, an alleged drug addict, left the family. Eric Nowsch Senior died in February 2010, aged 39.

Another witness, a 15-year-old girl who asked not to be named, also said she had seen Nowsch carrying a gun.

She said: 'I see him at the park all the time. We were waiting for our friends and we saw the gun sticking out the back of his pants the other week.

'We didn't know if it was real or a BB gun or what, but we were shocked.'

Tammy Meyers' husband Robert claimed on Thursday that his wife gave money to Nowsch along with giving him food and advice.

Robert Meyers, who claimed police told him to keep his family's relationship with the suspect a secret, described how his wife had consoled Nowsch, would tell him to pull his pants up around the neighborhood and tried to teach him how to be a man.

'We know this boy,' Robert Meyers said. 'I couldn't tell you this before. He knew where I lived. We knew how bad he was, but we didn't know he was this bad.'

The revelation came a week after Mrs Meyers was shot in the head as she made her way home with her 15-year-old daughter, who she was teaching to drive.

The mother-of-four was removed from life support on Valentine's Day as police hunted for a suspect, and donations for her funeral costs quickly poured into a fundraising site.

The sympathy morphed into skepticism and the fundraising site was shut down after police revealed that Meyers was not followed home and instead dropped her daughter off and picked up her 22-year-old son, armed with his 9mm handgun, to try to confront the driver who had frightened her earlier.

The victim's son Brandon Meyers, 22, said this week that he fired back to protect his family.

'Everyone can think what they have to think,' he said at a Tuesday night vigil. 'I did it for a reason. And I'd do it for anyone I love.'

Melissa Mours, who lives next door to the suspect, said several people showed up at her neighbor's house this week and knocked on the door, including at least one Meyers family member.

Earlier, as authorities worked to coax the suspect into surrendering, a distraught Robert Meyers arrived and tried to get close to the home that police had surrounded.

He walked past the yellow police tape, but a police officer stopped him and tried to calm the man down.

'It's OK,' the officer could be heard telling him.

'No it ain't OK!' the husband shouted back, his voice breaking up. The officer asked Meyers to step back behind the yellow tape, and he stormed off past reporters.

'Are you all happy? You made my wife look like an animal,' he told reporters. 'There's the animal, a block away!'

Meyers said outside his home later on Thursday that his wife spent countless hours 'consoling this boy'.

The Clark County School District confirmed that Nowsch had most recently attended Bonanza High School. According to Facebook, it is the same school Mrs Meyer's son, Brandon, attended.

A second, unnamed suspect, who is believed to be friends with Nowsch, was arrested by Las Vegas police on Thursday evening

'Fattyhit': Nowsch, 19, posted a picture of him lighting up a bong on his social media profile

Substance: A number of other snaps also contained drug paraphernalia and marijuana

Nowsch's Facebook and Instagram accounts, appear to show him smoking marijuana. Records show he was also arrested for petit larceny in Nevada in 2009.

Daily Mail Online also earned that Nowsch is believed to be a member of a Vegas gang called Alpha Block.

One local, who asked not to be named for fear of retribution, told Daily Mail Online: 'He's known by the police gang unit. He represents a gang, he says he's not with them any more, but he has access to weapons, his friends have weapons.

'Three months ago when I confronted this kid at the park he tried to pull a gun on me. And I jumped on him and got his backpack away from me.'

The man says the suspect fits the description of the person wanted in connection with Meyers' death.

'That day [in the park] that silver car showed up, it's a white boy, he's young he's got blonde crew cut hair. It fits. 'The story fits, because they're all young punks in a gang called Alpha Block,' the neighbor added.

The man's wife, who also asked not to be named, said she spoke with detectives on Wednesday because the suspect had put a knife to her daughter and her two friends at the weekend.

'He's a punk, a 20-year-old punk,' she said. 'He's come after my son three or four times. My husband's gone after him to tell him to leave our kids alone.

'He hangs out at the park right here, he's always there, he deals weed and stuff. 'His mom's a nice lady but he's always been in trouble, he has been for years. He's bad news.'
