Police identified the man who died in an ATV collision in Prince George’s County as Jerome Odom, 29, of Capitol Heights. A man was found stabbed to death in a recreational area of an elementary school in Seabrook on Monday afternoon, Prince George’s County police said.
Odom and a teenage passenger were riding the vehicle, which is not legal on county roads, around 5:45 p.m. Sunday. Police think that Odom was trying to turn left from Walker Mill Road onto Waterford Drive in Capitol Heights when an SUV going in the opposite direction on Walker Mill Road hit his vehicle. Around 4 p.m., a caller contacted authorities about a man in a park in the 6700 block of 97th Avenue, said Officer Michael Owen, a department spokesman. Officers who went to the area, in the vicinity of Gaywood Elementary School and a neighborhood park, found that the man had been stabbed to death. He was pronounced dead at the scene, Owen said. The school was closed for vacation.
Police said Odom and the teenager, who suffered serious injuries, were not wearing helmets. The SUV driver was not hurt, police said. Owen said that police are investigating the death as a homicide.

Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms has pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of violating the state’s Conflict of Interest Act. The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide from a spine injury that authorities said occurred while he was being transported in the back of a police van.
Under a plea agreement, four other conflict-of-interest charges were dismissed. His death sparked days of protests and a riot that put Baltimore under curfew for nearly a week.
Multiple media outlets reported that Sessoms entered his plea Monday in Virginia Beach General District Court. As part of the plea agreement, Sessoms donated $1,000 to the Virginia Coalition for Open Government. The trial for the officer tried first, William G. Porter, ended in a mistrial. The most serious charge Porter faced was manslaughter.
Sessoms said after the hearing that he will complete his term as mayor. He said he would not intentionally do anything wrong.
The charges stemmed from votes cast by Sessoms that benefited borrowers of Towne Bank, where he formerly served as president. The Virginian-Pilot reported last year that Sessoms had voted dozens of times on issues that benefited clients of the bank.
