Two police officers killed in Miami shootout | Reuters
The officers were from Miami-Dade Police Department.
I think later articles said only Miami-Dade police officers were involved in the operation.

Was this warrant service part of the task force or was it separate? That's what wasn't clear to me. Later articles suggested only MD police were involved. The press seem to be unable to distinguish between involved and injured. :(

They were assigned to our regional fugitive task force. It's my understanding that it was a task force operation.

They were assigned to the Career Criminals section of the MDPD Warrants Bureau. They were also part of the Marshalls task force but were working in their capacity as Officers for MDPD.
Services will be carried out Monday at 11:00am at the American Airlines Arena, Miami, FL.
