As reported by Yahoo:
The suspect wanted for the killing of a New Mexico State Police officer has been captured following a "pursuit and officer-involved shooting," authorities say.
Police say Jaremy Smith, 32, of South Carolina, shot Officer Justin Hare on Interstate 40 near mile marker 318 at around 5:30 a.m. Friday after Smith pulled over to the side of the road with a flat tire.
"Yesterday we said that we would bring Jaremy Smith to justice. There was nowhere that he could run, that there is nowhere that he could hide. And today, thanks to our community, to our fellow law enforcement partners, we were able to do that," New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler said Sunday at a news briefing.
Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen said authorities managed to track down Smith earlier this morning following a tip from a gas station employee in Alburquerque. As police moved in, a foot pursuit ensued during which shots were fired, he added.
Smith was struck by the gunfire and is now recovering at a local hospital, according to Allen, noting that no deputies were hurt. An investigation is ongoing.
