As of right this minute, Brantley is in custody. Morris is still on the loose.
First and foremost, if you're in the Tampa area, be careful and watch out for Morris. As is often cited, anybody who is willing to kill a cop won't hesitate to hurt anyone. There is a $5000 reward for information leading to arrest. 1-800-873-TIPS (8477), or report anonymously online at www.crimestopperstb.com
Secondly, donations on behalf of the fallen officers can be made at any Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union location. Both men were married. Curtis was father to four young children and Kocab's wife is nine months pregnant with their first child and some media reports state that she has gone into labor today.
