According to court documents, on March 15, 2024, Smith attempted to flag down passing motorists on Interstate 40 in Quay County, New Mexico, to assist with a flat tire. Smith had stolen the vehicle, a white BMW, from South Carolina on or about March 13, 2024, and drove it to New Mexico before it became disabled. NMSP Officer Justin Hare was dispatched to the scene to assist Smith. Upon Officer Hare’s arrival at approximately 5:04 a.m. that morning, Smith approached the passenger side of Officer Hare’s patrol vehicle where the two engaged in a short conversation. Smith then shot Officer Hare with a Taurus 9mm pistol that he had stolen from South Carolina.Afterward, Smith walked to the driver’s side window and shot Officer Hare two additional times. Smith then entered Officer Hare’s patrol vehicle and drove it westbound Interstate 40 before taking the first exit.

Dear God please be with the family and friends of the fallen officer. Unbelievable that someone could do something like this . Death penalty is in order.

I went by there the next day and saw where he abandoned the poor troopers car.

He had just murdered a nurse in South Carolina and then a New Mexico trooper.
