A suspect is in custody following a two-day manhunt in the case of a New Mexico State Police officer who was shot and killed on a highway near the small city of Tucumcari last week. Jaremy Smith was captured following an officer-involved shooting on Sunday with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, New Mexico state police said in a brief statement to social media on Sunday.
Smith allegedly walked to the driver’s side, opened fire on the officer again, pushed him to its passenger side, got in the patrol vehicle and drove off, the chief said. Hare was not responding to radio traffic and later appeared to have been able to depress a panic button common on police radios, alerting colleagues to his situation, Weisler said.
