LAS VEGAS, NV -- A Nevada family is desperate to find whoever's behind a shooting that left a mother of four dead in what police say was a case of road rage. That family is now offering a vehicle to try find the killer.

Matt Meyers, the 19-year-old son of the woman killed, told ABC's Kendis Gibson that his mother Tammy Meyers and sister were going the 25 mph speed limit on the one minute drive home from a parking lot where his 15-year-old sister was practicing how to drive. Meyers says the driver of the car behind his family got annoyed that his mother was going too slowly and sideswiped the passenger side.

His mother and driver of the other car exchanged words over who was at fault, and Meyers say his mother then drove home with the other vehicle following them.

Meyer's sister ran inside to tell her brother Brandon of the incident. Brandon then came out of the home and got into an exchange of gunfire someone inside the other vehicle.

Tammy Meyers came out during the shooting and that is when she was shot once in the head. She died Saturday at the hospital.

"She had to lose her life for what? I don't understand it and nobody's answered that question," Tammy Meyers' husband Robert Meyers told ABC affiliate KTNV-TV. "I don't feel safe, every time you turn around somebody's getting shot.

The family announced Monday that they're offering a 1965 Chevrolet El Camino as a reward for anyone with information leading to a conviction of Meyers' killer.

Police described one of the people in the suspect's vehicle involved in the incident as a white male, approximately 25 years of age, standing around 6 feet tall and weighting approximately 180 pounds. He has dirty blonde hair worn in a spiked style and has hazel or blue eyes, police said.
