A gunman shot dead one person and injured at least five others at a Wichita, Kansas, nightclub early Tuesday morning, police said.

Wichita Police said in a press release the shooting suspect had been kicked out of Enigma nightclub at 12:40 a.m. on Tuesday after getting into a "disturbance" inside the club.

"He returned a short time later and fired multiple rounds with a handgun through windows into the club from the outside, striking the victims," police said.

The shooting suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Keshawn Dawson, the police department said. Police are still looking for the suspect, who has been described as a man in his 20s, around 5-foot-9 tall, KWCH reported.
