Suspect in Murder of New Mexico State Police Officer identified

The suspect in the tragic murder of a New Mexico State Police officer has been named as Jaremy Smith, hailing from Marion County, South Carolina. Shockingly, Smith has also been connected to the death of a South Carolina woman, Phonesia Machado-Fore, whose lifeless body was discovered on Friday, following her reported disappearance by concerned family members.

Machado-Fore, a dedicated first responder in South Carolina, met a tragic end, with the New Mexico suspect allegedly driving her car at the time of the fatal attack on the New Mexico State Police Officer, Justin Hare. The Marion County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina has confirmed this disturbing link between Smith and Machado-Fore’s untimely demise.

Warrants have now been issued for Smith’s arrest in connection with Officer Hare’s murder. The Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, revealed that Hare was fatally shot while responding to a distress call on Interstate 40 in the early hours of Friday.

The investigation into Machado-Fore’s death led authorities to her body, which was tragically found outside of Lake View in Dillon County. An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday to determine the exact cause of her passing.

The crucial connection between the two cases was established when the New Mexico State Police contacted the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina, alerting them to the fact that Machado-Fore’s vehicle was involved in the violent incident that claimed the life of Officer Hare.

A collaborative effort involving federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies was instrumental in identifying Smith as the suspect and locating Machado-Fore’s body, bringing some closure to this harrowing investigation.
