Miami is awash in blue tears today after two members of an elite police unit were murdered by an accused "evil" killer who also died in the shootout. Officers Roger Castillo and Amanda Haworth were in the process of serving a warrant to Johnny Simms, 23, when the thug opened fire. Another officer was wounded and is expected to make a full recovery.

"It's shocking. It's hurtful," said an emotional Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez, adding that he knew both slain officers personally, having once been the police department's director. "Really, I can't put it into words."

The cops had been searching for a man involved in an earlier slaying. A family member said the suspect "would be right back", according to CNN. Minutes later gunfire erupted with Castillo--a father of three dying at the scene. Haworth--a 23-year-veteran died on the operating table.

PHONE SEX DEFENCE DISCONNECTED

'Ooooh baby'

FULL marks to Shaketa Jones for coming up with a novel excuse.
But the phone sex defence failed to convince a jury she wasn’t part of a botched gas station heist which ended in a hail of gunfire.
Jones 29, claimed she was having phone sex with her boyfriend, Jessie Cooper, not watching the station. She went as far to say that she was fondling herself in full view of the public. But cops and a jury thought differently. In the days leading up to the attack they’d monitored Jones as she followed the store manager on his bank run. So when the gruesome twosome went ahead with the robbery last May, they were waiting.
Cooper was gunned down during the heist, while Jones was arrested across the road from the gas station. Prosecutor John Guy called Jones’ story ridiculous albeit carefully crafted. And the jury saw through her lies too.
Now the only phone sex she’ll be getting will be with phone cards behind bars.

He added that they were accused of numerous violent and illegal acts, including murder, extortion, illegal gambling, narcotics trafficking, loan-sharking and labor racketeering.
