Police say he killed 35-year-old officer Justin Hare during a traffic stop on I-40 between Albuquerque and Tucumcari.
Those charges include first degree murder, armed robbery, shooting at or from a motor vehicle, tampering with evidence, felon in possession of a firearm, unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, and criminal damage to property.
NMSP is warning that Smith is "armed and dangerous," and should not be approached. If spotted, the public is being asked to call State Police at (505) 425-6771 or dial 911.

According to our sister station KOAT in Albuquerque, officer Hare was responding to a stalled vehicle on I-40 near mile post 318 around 5 a.m. Friday.
Police say the suspect, Smith, had a flat tire and was attempting to wave down other motorists. Shortly after, officer Hare arrived and parked behind the suspect's vehicle.
Smith left his vehicle and walked up to the passenger side window of Hare's vehicle. Hare and Smith reportedly talked about repairing his flat tire, and officer Hare offered to give Smith a ride into town.
According to NMSP, Smith, without warning, then pulled out a gun and shot Hare. Smith walked over to the driver's side of the vehicle and shot Hare, again. Smith then pushed Hare into the passenger's seat and drove away in his patrol unit, before abandoning it.
A news conference will be held with more details at the State Police Office in Albuquerque Saturday at 11 a.m.

The suspect wanted for the killing of a New Mexico State Police officer has been captured following a "pursuit and officer-involved shooting," authorities say.

Police say Jaremy Smith, 32, of South Carolina, shot Officer Justin Hare on Interstate 40 near mile marker 318 at around 5:30 a.m. Friday after Smith pulled over to the side of the road with a flat tire.


"Jaremy Smith has been captured after a pursuit and officer-involved shooting involving the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office," New Mexico State Police announced Sunday.

The Sheriff's Office said earlier that it was "in the area of Unser and Anderson Hill" in Albuquerque "for a deputy-involved shooting."

Smith was trying to flag down passing motorists, and Hare arrived and parked behind the suspect, New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler said during a press briefing Saturday.


Weisler said that Smith approached the police car at the passenger side door and, after a short conversation about fixing the tire, pulled out a gun and shot Hare.

The suspect then walked to the driver’s side door and shot Hare again before pushing him into the passenger seat, according to Weisler.

Smith allegedly then drove away in the police vehicle, which was abandoned a short time later.

"Officer Hare died serving his state and his community. On a cold, dark and windy morning, he offered help to a person he thought was in need," Weisler said, fighting back tears.

"That person killed him in cold blood. The last words Officer Hare uttered on this earth was to offer help to a man who was about to kill him," he added.

Hare is survived by his girlfriend and two young children, Weisler said.
