Jaremy Smith Arrested for Killing New Mexico State Trooper, Linked to Paramedic's Death

Following a manhunt, Jaremy Smith was captured after a shootout with law enforcement in Albuquerque, raising questions about his connection to a South Carolina paramedic's death.

Jaremy Smith, accused of killing New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare, was arrested after a two-day manhunt and shootout in Albuquerque.
Smith was driving a car belonging to slain South Carolina paramedic Phonesia Machado-Fore, whose body was found last week.
Authorities are investigating Smith's connection to Machado-Fore's death; he is considered a person of interest but has not been charged.
Smith has an extensive criminal history in South Carolina, including armed robbery, auto theft, and evading officers.
The fatal shooting of Officer Hare occurred when he responded to a call to assist Smith, who then shot him and fled.
