Officials have identified Jaremy Smith as a suspect in the murder of New Mexico trooper Justin Hare and was driving a car owned by a South Carolina woman found dead.
Nadine El-Bawab and Matt FosterThe suspect in the murder of a New Mexico State Police officer had been driving a car belonging to a South Carolina woman who was later found dead, police said Saturday.Smith has an "extensive" criminal history dating back decades in his home state and has ties to the Albuquerque area, New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler said at a Saturday press conference.
Hare was killed after he was dispatched to help a person with a flat tire on Friday, according to police. When Hare did not return several attempts to contact him, an officer was sent to the scene. When the officer responded, he saw Hare's patrol car driving at a high speed on a fringe road which runs alongside the interstate. Hare also set off a distress signal, sending an emergency signal to dispatch, Weisler said.
The link was made between Hare's murder and the missing first responder when New Mexico State Police called the Marion County Sheriff's Office on Friday to inform them that Machado-Fore's car was involved in the murder of one of their officers.
