SIKESTON, MO (KFVS)- Police say one man is dead and five other people were injured after being struck by a car late Sunday afternoon in Sikeston.

The incident happened around 5:15 p.m. Sunday outside a home at 612 S West Street.

According to Sikeston DPS Captain Jim McMillen, there was an altercation at a family gathering and the suspect was asked to leave. The homeowner and one of the victims told police he had asked Thornton, his cousin, to leave because he was "being obnoxious toward another guest."

"In less than a minute I came out the door, I heard yelling," said Mark Foster, a neighbor.

According to the probable cause statement, witnesses describe the suspect got into a car, backed up until he was in the middle of the street, stopped for a short time, then sped toward the home.
