Las Vegas police are now one step closer to figuring out what really happened during the bizarre road rage encounter that led to Tammy Meyers—a mother of two—getting shot in the head while standing in her own driveway.

According to initial reports, the incident began when Meyers' daughter—who was behind the wheel, learning how to drive—accidentally swerved into the path of another car. Meyers and the occupants of the other car got into an argument, and the other car followed them home, where someone inside the vehicle shot Meyers in the head. Somehow, Meyers' adult son was able to return fire as the car sped off.

By the second day, the theory had changed. Police now believe the incident began when the other car sped past Meyers, who honked her horn at them. Investigators say Meyers then dropped her daughter off at home, picked up her son and his gun, and went out looking for the other car—all before she was ever followed home.

It's still unclear how she and her son were able to find the other driver.

Now cops say they have an unnamed suspect in custody. According to the Washington Post, he was arrested in a residential area a "few dozen" miles off the Las Vegas strip.

"Are you all happy? You made my wife look like an animal. And my son!" Meyers' anguished husband, Bob, shouted at news reporters on the scene. "There's the animal. A block away. Are you happy?"

Update, 2/20, 7:55 a.m.: The suspect has been identified by Las Vegas police as Erich Nowsch. The 19-year-old, ABC News reports, lived one block away from Meyers. The family apparently knows Nowsch, with Robert Meyers telling the news network that they "had spent 'countless' hours trying to help him."

"He knew where we lived," Meyers said. "We knew how bad he was."
