The New Mexico State Police say a suspect in the shooting death of one of its officers has been captured after a confrontation with law enforcement in the Albuquerque area. The agency announced Sunday that Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office captured 33-year-old Jaremy Smith of Marion, South Carolina, in a pursuit involving gunfire.

New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler addresses reporters at a news conference in Albuquerque, N.M. Saturday, March 16, 2024 following the fatal shooting of officer Justin Hare along Interstate 40 near Tucumcari the day before. A portrait of Jaremy Smith is displayed beside U.S.

Friday’s fatal shooting of State Police Officer Justin Hare along I-40 west of Tucumcari set off a search that eventually focused on Smith, who was linked to a car that belonged to a woman killed in his home state. Hare parked behind the BMW, and a man got out, approached the patrol car on the passenger side, then shot the officer without warning. They said the motorist then walked to the driver’s side of the police vehicle, shot Hare again, and pushed him into the back seat before taking off in the patrol vehicle.
