Marshal Kevin Dziejma suffered a fatal heart attack while conducting a traffic stop at the intersection of North Miramiguoa Street and South Miramiguoa Street at approximately 4:35 pm.

He was conducting warrant checks on two subjects when he suddenly collapsed. The occupants of the car noticed Marshal Dziejma to be in distress and flagged down a passing motorist for assistance. Two deputies responding to back him up performed CPR for 10 minutes until EMS units arrived. He was transported to Missouri Baptist Hospital in Sullivan where he passed away a short time later.

Marshal Dziejma had served in law enforcement for seven years and was the agency's only law enforcement officer. He was survived by his wife, an adult son and daughter.
