The man police say shot and killed a New Mexico State Police officer Friday was driving a stolen car belonging to a paramedic who was found dead Friday.
New Mexico State Police have vowed to apprehend a man wanted for the killing of a fellow officer, and police have revealed the suspect was driving a stolen BMW belonging to a woman who was found dead. 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, police say.
Smith approached the police car at the passenger side door and, after a short conversation about fixing the tire, pulled out a gun and shot Hare, Weisler said. The suspect then walked to the driver’s side door and shot Hare again before pushing him into the passenger seat, according to Weisler. Smith then drove away in the police vehicle, which was abandoned a short time later. Smith is still at large and considered armed and dangerous. 'Officer Hare died serving his state and his community.
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. 'Jaremy Smith, we are coming for you.' Hare is survived by his girlfriend and two young children, Weisler said. Police say Smith was driving a BMW belonging to a Phonesia Machado-Fore, a paramedic found dead in Dillon County, South Carolina, Friday evening. An autopsy to determine her cause of death is scheduled for Monday.
