A drug dealer who ex3cuted a police officer in broad daylight during a traffic stop has been pursued and killed.

The disturbing video of the sad encounter has been released by New Mexico State public safety officials. The video of the patrol car dashcam showed a violent February encounter during a traffic stop that claimed the life of a New Mexico State Police officer.

In the dashcam video, drug dealer is seen executing a cop during a routine traffic stop before he was shot dead in a hail of bullets after a 40-mile chase by other officers. The shocking footage shows violent criminal Omar Felix Cueva, 39, stepping out of the driver's side of his Chevrolet pick-up truck with an AR-15-style rifle before firing one shot at New Mexico officer Darrian Jarrott.

Jarrott had stopped Cueva, who police say had a 'violent criminal history' including drug charges involving cocaine and meth, on February 4 on the eastbound Interstate 10 between Deming and Las Cruces after noticing his windows were tinted.

After walking over to the passenger-side window of Cueva's vehicle, the officer politely said to him: 'Good afternoon, sir. My name is Darrian Jarrott. I'm with New Mexico State Police. The reason for the stop is your window tint is a little too dark.'

Cueva then mutters something that wasn't clearly heard.

Jarrott, a father of three children whose partner was pregnant at the time of his death, says: 'Yeah, mind if I open the door? Or if you want to roll down the window more.'

In a brief conversation lasting around three minutes, the officer asks if Cueva had insurance, to which he replies 'yes', and confirms his name, before asking him to come over to his patrol car so he could run checks.

As Cueva opens his door, Jarrott saw his rifle and asked, 'You have a firearm on you, do you mind if I take that off you, for my own safety?'

The officer then says, 'Let's go to my vehicle OK', at which point Cueva gets out from the driver's seat holding the rifle - which Jarrott is unable to see because his view is blocked by the pick-up.

As both men slowly walk towards his patrol car, Cueva suddenly brings out the rifle, with Jarrott shouting 'oh s***' before being shot. Jarrott, 28, fell to the ground, with Cueva walking over to him to shot him several more times, including once point-blank in the head before he took off in his truck.

Less than a minute after Cueva fled, a Homeland Security Investigations agent arrived on the scene and reportedly notified dispatch that Jarrott was down. A 40-mile chase ensued, during which Cueva exchanged fire with officers from New Mexico State Police, the Cruces Police Department, the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office, and US Border Patrol.

Tire deflation devices and other maneuvers were eventually used to force the fleeing vehicle off the highway, and there was a final exchange of gunfire in which Cueva was killed and surrounded by armed troopers aiming their weapons at him.

Las Cruces police officer Adrian De La Garza was wounded in the final shootout and was flown to the hospital by helicopter but his injuries were not life-threatening. NMSP Chief Robert Thornton fought back tears at a press conference as he mourned officer Jarrott who he called 'our fallen hero.'

Jarrott had been on the force since 2015 after working as a Transportation Inspector for the New Mexico Department of Public Safety. The chief said Cueva was a man with a 'violent criminal history that included drug trafficking and other felonies.' He was first arrested at age 13 for vandalism, then for drug trafficking at 21, and possession with intent to distribute crystal meth at age 29.

Democrat New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered flags across the state to fly at half-mast following the tragedy in February. 'I am shocked, heartbroken and enraged by the loss of this public servant. I am praying for the local officer who was also shot and injured,' the governor said in a statement.

'I am horrified as we grieve another life cut down, another family crushed by senseless violence in our state.'Violent crime is a scourge on New Mexico, and the men and women who step up and put on the badge to protect our communities fight it with everything they've got every day.'

Psycho.
This is one of the reasons these officers too are aggressive when they come across suspects.

u see there response time....if na here sorry na ur name, RIP

See face! How police go see that kyn face still wan arrest.. just waka pass, and call air strike

All these ones na thug to death. See him mugshot,he ressemble goat. Police work ,na 50/50.
I wish I could do this to sars when sars was still SARS. The officer was a good simple guy,infact he never saw it coming. Ajebutter police,if na all those rugged ones,nw front of bonet those ones go pass with pistol and trigger finger awaiting a click. The officer was too relaxed and shouldn't have passed back. He should have returned fire,shaply. I felt bad,he was only doing his job,and sounded so cool,why then did you have to waste him,at least u should have shot his tyres and seized his gun. Why waste him na, a good cop, why na. I felt his last words when he shouted Jesus. It touch my heart, he still went ahead and shot him in the head. NAWA O

Yankees no get time

The contradictions in the US is getting too much.

In this story here, we have a white male (who is later found to be a drug dealer), dressed causually, driving a darkly tinted suspicious suv, with an assault rifle in his car which the policeman spots...however the policeman still treats him with respect throughout until he is shot dead (probably for handling the matter with too much leniency once he felt he was dealing with a fellow "white skin" )

In the story above, we have a black male, clearly dressed as an army officer, identifying himself as an officer and wearing glasses, driving a suspicious car but clearly tagging it.....however the policemen treat him as a criminal straight away without asking any questions despite the fact he cooperated with them at every single point.....the pepper spraying is so sickening !!!

Honestly USA is beginning to seem like a shithole country..... especially if you happen to be black.

Well the killer sign his death paper when he pulled the trigger at that calm policeman. Too calm and overly trusty to work as a poliman in a country where everyone carry gun...

I think what really happened was homeland security were tracking guy and the police officer was just a front for whole operation which just went shitty

Well with the way this phuckers treat blacks, no pity here. That guy in active duty they harassed just dey give me heachache since I saw the news few days back. Like wtf? He was even in uniform and clearly identified himself.

this one is purely a wild animal from his looks alone.

GOOD ONE.
They wasted him too.
The RESPONSE TIME was swift.
The RESPONSE TIME of the US police is almost equivalent to the speed of Light. Most times their POLICE are polite & remain within d ambits of d Law, except Hell breaks loose.

Good one.

A system that works. I bet if it's in my country, as far as the guy has left the crime scene they may not be able to track him down and it will become another case of unsolved murder.

Get rich or die trying
