Tragedy struck in New Mexico as State Police officer Justin Hare was fatally shot while offering assistance to a stranded driver. The suspect, identified as Jaremy Smith, is considered armed and dangerous after shooting Officer Hare twice and fleeing the scene in the patrol car.
Hare, a beloved member of the community, leaves behind grieving parents, a girlfriend, and two young children. Smith is now facing multiple charges, including first-degree murder and armed robbery in connection with the incident.
In a shocking turn of events, Smith has also been linked to another killing in South Carolina. The victim, paramedic Phonesia Machado-Fore, was found dead on a property in Dillon County. The investigation is ongoing to determine any relationship between the two cases.
Authorities are urging anyone with information on Smith’s whereabouts to come forward as a manhunt is currently underway. There is a warning against assisting him, as individuals may face prosecution for aiding a fugitive.
