Hernandez is comforted after speaking during a vigil honoring New Mexico State Police Officer Justin Hare at the New Mexico State Police Office in Tucumcari, N.M., on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
Smith was captured by sheriff’s deputies following the gas station clerk’s tip. He was chased on foot, wounded by gunfire and taken to a hospital for treatment, where he had remained under guard for several days. Hare parked behind the BMW and a man got out, approached the patrol car on the passenger side, then shot the officer without warning. 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, authorities said.
