Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers had joined a pursuit involving a stolen vehicle. Sinclair drove his vehicle down a boat ramp in Sugar Creek before getting out of the vehicle. Police said Sinclair placed his hands into his sweatshirt and ignored commands to show his hands. A bean bag round was fired at Sinclair, initially stunning him, before he started shooting. Lowe says troopers and a Jackson County Sheriff's deputy returned fire, killing Sinclair.
