TAMPA - Authorities are still searching for Dontae Morris, who was named as "person of interest" in today's brutal police murders.

Morris, born 08/24/1985, is about 5-feet 10- inches tall, weighing between 150 and 170 pounds and wearing a white shirt with black vest.

Morris has a long rap sheet, and Tampa Police Chief Jane Castor describes him as "armed and dangerous."

Asked why they being referred to as 'persons of interest' and not 'suspects', Chief Castor said investigators wanted to be certain about the pair's identities and question them before labelling them as suspects.
