From Time magazine:
Police were searching Tuesday for the man suspected of fatally shooting two Tampa police officers during an early morning traffic stop of a car that didn't have a visible license plate.Officer David Curtis pulled over the red Toyota Camry around 2:15 a.m. and called for backup after a background check revealed the male passenger in the car was wanted on a misdemeanor charge for writing a worthless check in Jacksonville. The two officers approached the passenger side of the vehicle and six minutes later a witness called 911 to report they had been shot.
The woman who police believe was driving the car, 22-year-old Cortnee Nicole Brantly, was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon for questioning, but she was not arrested.
