Prosecutors unveiled an indictment last Friday which names Andrews as the alleged get-away driver. The indictment charges both Andrews and Nowsch with attempted murder, firing a weapon from a vehicle and conspiracy.
Andrews was charged and assigned to defense attorney Marty Hart for his initial arraignment. Hart told media after the proceedings: 'Right now, he's a scared young man. He's nervous, he's worried about his family and he wants them to know that he loves them.' He confirmed Andrews will plead not guilty.
Nowsch pleaded not guilty on March 12 to the murder, attempted murder and weapon charges during an appearance at Clark County District Court. He is expected to plead not guilty to the new conspiracy charge as well.
The conspiracy charges stem from allegations that Andrews and Nowsch tried to erase their cellphone records to prevent police from linking them to the shooting.
Andrews is accused of positioning his car so Nowsch could unload what Prosecutor David Stanton said police now believe to have been 24 shots at Meyers and her son Brandon.
Both Nowsch and Andrews could face the death penalty or life in prison if convicted. The trial is currently scheduled for May 26th.
District Attorney Steve Wolfson said: 'If you're a getaway driver, aiding and abetting another to commit a crime, you're equally guilty.'
