WASHINGTON — Prince George’s County police are asking for the public’s help after an off-duty D.C. police officer was killed in a motorcycle crash in Clinton, Maryland.

Police are urging any witnesses to contact police in order to identify one of the drivers involved in the fatal crash.

Jamal Shaw, 27, was riding his motorcycle westbound on Piscataway Road when he was cut off by another driver around 3:30 p.m. Friday.
