New Mexico Trooper ambushed by man he was trying to help with a flat tire.

The dashcam footage of Officer Justin Hare’s final moments is a chilling reminder of how quickly trying to help a stranded motorists can quickly turn into a nightmare.

Officer Hare pulled over on I-40 to help a stranded motorist with a flat tire. In an act of pure kindness, he offered the man a ride into town. Instead of gratitude, the suspect—Jaremy Smith—pulled a weapon and ambushed the officer through the passenger window.

What makes this even more disturbing is the backstory: Smith was already a fugitive from South Carolina, driving a vehicle stolen from a murdered paramedic.

Smith proceeded to shove the injured Hare over to the passenger seat and took off with the police cruiser. Shortly down the road he dumped wounded officer Hare on the side of the road and fled.

After a massive manhunt and a shootout with deputies in Albuquerque, Smith was finally captured. Just recently went to trial, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

A tragic loss for the New Mexico State Police and the family Officer Hare left behind. Justice has been served, but the cost was far too high.
