New Mexico State Police have announced the arrest of Jaremy Smith, who was being sought following the fatal shooting of its officer Justin Hare on Friday.
The suspect wanted for the killing of a New Mexico State Police officer has been captured following a 'pursuit and officer-involved shooting,' authorities say. Police say Jaremy Smith, 32, of South Carolina, shot Officer Justin Hare on Interstate 40 near mile marker 318 at around 5:30 a.m. Friday after Smith pulled over to the side of the road with a flat tire.
Smith allegedly then drove away in the police vehicle, which was abandoned a short time later. 'Officer Hare died serving his state and his community. On a cold, dark and windy morning, he offered help to a person he thought was in need,' Weisler said, fighting back tears. 'That person killed him in cold blood. The last words Officer Hare uttered on this earth was to offer help to a man who was about to kill him,' he added.
