About 9 p.m., a vehicle pulled up outside a house in the southwest neighbourhood of Magrath, said police Insp. Brian Nowlan. It is believed two family members were inside. One man climbed out after a dispute, and was then struck down by the vehicle in front of the house near Massey Landing and Massey Way. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“The argument started as soon as the one gentlemen left the vehicle, and ended when he was struck by the vehicle,” Nowlan said.
