GUILTY FL - Officers Jeffrey Kocab, 31, & David Curtis, 31, slain, Tampa, 29 June 2010

It's ridiculous that she was let go. The only thing I can think of is she had no idea that Morris had a gun and was planning on shooting the officers. She may only have a slight connection to the suspect. Who knows? The news reports say she was not very cooperative. No surprise there. Morris probably has a whole network of people who are helping him right now to evade capture. They should all be rounded up when this is over and prosecuted to the fullest extent.

When the police finally catch up to him, they should be ready to open fire if he makes the slightest suspicious move. If he had the slightest idea what's good for him, he would be heading to the nearest police station with a minister and some reporters, with his hands held high.

The local news here stated that the shooters family through their pastor ask that they (LE) bring him safely.

Officer Kocab's widow went into labor this morning and has just given birth to their first child:

I notice this evening that the information in that article from foxnews is incorrect. :(

"Officials said Kocab's wife, nine months pregnant with the couple's first child, went into labor a few hours after her husband died at the same hospital. The contractions stopped.

According to McElroy, she is at home now and still pregnant."

The fact that the Tampa Police Chief stated that she knows that releasing Brantley upset a lot of people and telling everyone to trust that the Tampa Police Department made the right choice, makes me believe they want to watch Brantley to see in Morris contacts her or she contacts him. I think they will pull her back in when they have him. JMHO

TAMPA — Dontae Morris' sister claims to have spoken with her brother, according to her Facebook status that was updated Tuesday afternoon.

During an exchange with a man who was using a pseudonym and claiming to be Morris' godbrother, Audra Callaway wrote that she had talked to Morris.

"YEAH E I TALKED TO HIM!" Callaway wrote. The comment was later removed.

TAMPA - The man wanted for killing two Tampa police officers is a 'person of interest' in two other killings and a suspect in a fifth, Police Chief Jane Castor said Thursday.

Dontae Rashawn Morris remains the focus of a major manhunt in the Tampa Bay area. He's wanted for gunning down officers Jeffrey Kocab and Dave Curtis during a traffic stop early Tuesday.

Castor said all of the murders were commited since April of this year. She described Morris as "a cold blooded killer."

Morris is now a suspect in the murder of Derek Anderson. He died after a shooting on May 18th at the Kenneth Court Apartments in Tampa. Anderson was standing on a balcony when someone on the ground shot him in the chest. He died later at Tampa General Hospital.

Castor would not elaborate on Morris' connection to the other two killings.

She believes all of the victims were "targeted individuals."

If indeed that's the case she ought to be locked up.

On what charge I don't know? Aiding and abetting maybe?

That would make sense and I hope you have the right theory! I still believe she should be charged as well as anyone who helps him now. MOO
 
Wow! According to this news report linked below, this guy had been arrested 18 times between 2002 - 2008. He was even tried for attempted murder and the DA was trying to get life, but the jury acquitted him when the victim recanted his id, or said 'he wasn't sure he had fired a gun at him.'

What a shame.
