Man pleads guilty to kill*ng a New Mexico State Police Officer who stopped to help him with a flat tire

… while he was still alive

Police later connected Smith to the murd*r of paramedic Phonesia Machado-Fore, though he has not been formally charged yet

Smith was already on the run on March 15, 2024, after stealing a car and a 9mm gun

He got a flat tire while driving. Officer Justin Hare stopped to help and even offered Smith a ride into town to fix it

Smith admits to shooting Officer Hare once, then going around Hare's car and shooting him two more times

He then got into the police cruiser while Hare was still alive, drove for about five minutes, and took him out of the car before leaving him on the side of the road.

#3  Murders across State lines could be a Federal crime

#2  New Mexico does not have Capital punishment anymore. North Carolina does though they have not used it in years. If ever there was a deserving case, Smith is it.

#1  He has an outstanding warrant in Carolina for a murder which he was fleeing from. Throw in interstate flight, he's got three hots and a cot for life.
