District of Columbia police say U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division Officer Arthur Baldwin was shot and killed shortly before 3 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in southwest Washington on Tuesday. Police are looking for three people in connection with the shooting, but have released no information about them or a possible motive, reports WTTG.

Baldwin was placed on leave and his security clearance was suspended in April after he was charged with trying to break into his girlfriend's house while armed.

His most recent court appearance was on Tuesday, a few hours before he was slain. He was scheduled for trial in February.
