Jaremy Smith, 33, of Marion, is a suspect in the kidnapping and murder of Florence County paramedic Phonesia Machado-Fore and the murder of New Mexico police officer Justin Hare.

Smith was arrested on the morning of March 17 following a deputy-involved shooting in Southwest Albuquerque.

According to 911 dispatch audio, officials were able to locate Smith after a worker at a convenience store recognized him as the suspect wanted for the shooting.

The caller said Smith bought cigarettes from the store and checked his ID which was a South Carolina driver's license. Additionally, she told the dispatcher Smith's name.

Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office released the deputy bodycam footage of the chase. Officials began firing their weapons and hit Smith. He survived the shooting and was detained by deputies.
