A man who was kicked out of a club in Kansas shot and killed one, and injured five others when he opened fire early on Tuesday, police say. 

Wichita Police said the suspect got into a fight, which they described as an ‘unknown disturbance’, inside the Enigma Club & Lounge in downtown Wichita, and was subsequently kicked out.

When he returned at around 12.40am, police said he began shooting into the club from outside with a handgun, killing 34-year-old father Preston Spencer of Wichita.

Police were unable to say what sparked the fight, and are still looking for the shooter. 

He is described as five-foot-nine, black and in his 20s, and police are seeking information that could lead to his arrest. 

In addition to Spencer, five others injured when the suspect opened fire early Tuesday morning at the Enigma Club & Lounge (pictured) in Wichita Kansas
