SIKESTON, Mo. (KFVS) - Two men are in custody in connection with a deadly shooting at a park in southeast Missouri.

Sikeston Department of Public Safety offices were called to several reports of gunfire coming from Rotary Park, located at 300 Industrial Drive, on Tuesday afternoon, April 25.

According to Sikeston DPS Sgt. Tyler Rowe, when officers arrived and after further investigation, they learned a fight between several people on social media led to the shooting at the park.

Investigators are working to piece together all of the information they have collected.

“We’re out here today combing the scene again, trying to see if we can find any trace evidence, shell casings or anything like that,” Sikeston Department of Public Safety Chief, Jim McMillen said.

Authorities spent Wednesday morning looking for clues.

“They were communicating through social media, and it looked like they were trying to meet up at a location to have a fight,” McMillen said. “One party was already here, about four people in a vehicle, two other vehicles arrived with about five other people in those vehicles.”

McMillen said the tire tracks from where the second vehicle pulled up are still visible. Then, shots were fired from both vehicles.

“We had a couple different rifles that were used in this a few pistols as well,” McMillen said.

Chief McMillen said it didn’t take long for witnesses to call 911. The park is located right next to a golf course and many people were out. When they heard gunfire, they quickly alerted authorities.

“Vehicles leaving, they got those vehicles stopped, addressed the people inside, there were some that were injured and struck by gunfire,” Chief McMillen said. “It’s unusual to have a type of incident like this in this location, so obviously people were very concerned.”

Police said an 18-year-old man was pronounced dead at an area hospital and an 18-year-old woman suffered life-threatening injuries.


The names of both victims are not being released at this time.


Sikeston DPS Criminal Investigations Unit is currently investigating this incident with the assistance of the SEMO Major Case Squad.

Elon Musk’s Star ship, the world’s largest rocket, explodes on test flight

  Elon Musk’s Starship, the world’s largest rocket, explodes on a test flight. Elon Musk’s giant Starship, the world’s largest and most powerful rocket, exploded in a spectacular fireball on its historic first test flight. The 152m tall SpaceX rocket blew up during the unpiloted* first test flight of the spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to the Moon and Mars. While exploding about 29km above Starbase in Texas, the launch and 2010km/h flight speed were hailed* as a successful first test flight despite the failure of the Starship capsule to separate from the first-stage rocket booster. “Congrats @SpaceX team on an exciting test launch of Starship! Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months,” Musk tweeted. SpaceX called the explosion a “rapid unscheduled* disassembly* before state separation*. As if the flight test was not exciting enough,” the company tweeted. “With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reli...
