Death
In the episode "Fall From Grace", Meyers stubbornly pursued a case involving a gang of corrupt law enforcement officers who were accused of murdering seven people. This choice, however, put her life in danger as she was the target of a few other crooked cops who were in close relations with the defendants. As she exited the courthouse after the second half of the trial, Meyers was almost shot in a drive-by. The CIFB then ordered that Meyers be put in Witness Protection until the threats suceded. However, Meyers reluctantly brushed off the heavy protection by the CIFB and decided to stay in a remote hotel. One night, Meyers exited her hotel and got in her car to travel to the CIFB's HQ after finding some incriminating evidence on the other crooked cops. However, as she was starting the car, an unknown individual came up to her window and shot her three times. In the next episode "In Memoriam", Meyers was rushed to the hospital after a young couple finds her. It is revealed that Meyers' left lung was punctured by one of the bullets. At the end of the episode, Detective Vaughn gets a call from the hospital, receiving news of her death. In the Season Three premiere, she is mourned by all of the CIFB members and DA Walter Alston.
