How they died

Vehic/Purs

Shad Pfeifer was killed when he crashed his 2000 Dodge van while being chased by officers. The chase began in Camden County at around 8:30 p.m. as sheriff's deputies were directing traffic while the highway patrol investigated an unrelated collision. Pfeifer reportedly pulled out the line of traffic, started passing vehicles and almost hit one of the deputies. Deputies pursued the van at high speeds into Laclede County, where Pfeifer lost control on a curve and crashed into Morgan Music. The van burst into flames, igniting the building. A music teacher and two students in the building escaped through a back door unharmed.
