Luna County, New Mexico — On February 4, 2021, New Mexico State Police Officer Darian Jarrott initiated a traffic stop on a white Chevrolet pickup on Interstate 10 eastbound, near mile marker 102 east of Deming, New Mexico. During the traffic stop, Officer Jarrott asked the driver, identified as Omar Felix Cueva, 39, of Deming to exit the vehicle. Cueva exited the driver’s side holding an AR-15-style rifle and fired at least one shot at Officer Jarrott as he was walking to the rear of the vehicle. Officer Jarrott ducked and fell onto his back as Cueva ran around the back of the pickup toward Officer Jarrott. Cueva fired several more rounds at Officer Jarrott who was struck by gunfire and killed.
As Cueva ran toward the front of the truck on the passenger’s side, he shot Officer Jarrott point-blank in the back of the head. A Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent arrived on scene and notified New Mexico State Police dispatch that an officer was down. A broadcast was put out to state and local law enforcement agencies. New Mexico State Police Officers Lionel Palomares and Sonny Montes located Cueva traveling east on Interstate 10 near mile marker 116. Cueva pulled over and fired at Officers Palomares and Montes. The officers returned fire at Cueva who continued to evade officers, traveling east on Interstate 10.
As Cueva fled eastbound on Interstate 10, law enforcement officers from the Las Cruces Police Department (LCPD), the Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office (DASO), and U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) assisted New Mexico State Police with the pursuit. Near the Picacho exit on Interstate 10, (near mile marker 135), NMSP officers successfully utilized tire deflation devices on Cueva’s pickup. Cueva continued to flee east on Interstate 10. Various law enforcement officers engaged Cueva in gunfire as he fled. DASO Deputy Jerod Huston fired rounds from his department issued rifle near the mile marker 136. DASO Deputy John Signore fired at Cueva near the mile marker 138 eastbound. Near mile marker 139, USBP Agent Oscar Delgado fired one round at Cueva as he passed. LCPD Officer Adrian De La Garza then utilized a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver near mile marker 140.
Prior to the pickup coming to a stop, Cueva exited the pickup armed with a firearm and shot multiple rounds towards the officers and deputies. LCPD Officer Adrian De La Garza and DASO Deputies Diego Herrera and Obed Marte returned fire towards Cueva, who was struck several times by gunfire. Officer De La Garza was struck by gunfire and was airlifted to a trauma hospital in Texas where he was treated and released for non-life-threatening injuries. Officers rendered aid to Cueva until emergency medical personnel arrived on scene. Cueva sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased on scene by the Office of Medical Investigator. This investigation is active and being led by the New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau.
Officer Darian Jarrott began his career as a Transportation Inspector with NMDPS. He was certified as a law enforcement officer in December of 2014 and worked with the former Motor Transportation Division of NMDPS. In July of 2015, he was sworn in as a New Mexico State Police officer where he bravely served until the day of the shooting. Officer Jarrott leaves behind 3 small children and was expecting his fourth child this year. Officer Darian Jarrott was laid to rest on Friday, February 12, 2021 at Shakespeare Cemetery in Lordsburg during a private burial.

Why is he talking to a cartel member like a baby instead of drawing a gun like he would if he was black 😙whislin
Damn that cop tough as hell
Poor officer 😔💔.
He gone wow
Rest In Peace Sir
No more games if they now their drug dealers and gang members guns should be drawn this should have been prevented secure the future not the bag
In the original video, I watched the killer shoot a gun at the head of an injured policeman. It's too cruel
I feel so sad for this cop, that was his reward for trying to be polite and give a good service.
Cops are true heros
Democrats and the BLM says defund the Police…
gorg floed
De esos policías deberíamos tener en México, lo siento por el policía caído
once he make crime it will never change poor officer rest in peace you do a good job
Homeland Security sucks.
That cop was being so nice to him too
Dude was armed to go back to Vietnam
What a dumb ass, he think they not gonna catch him
That guy is insane. Did he think he was gonna remain alive that day? He must be stupid.
Impresionante
The bad ones I've ran into n disrespected me pulled me over for no reason makes it hard to feel bad for any of them I did run into 2 good troopers recently tho so god bless those 2 maine state troopers.
Really sad rest in peace to the police officer just doing his job
if you watch closely they start to stomp that guy right before the camera cut off.
What goes around,comes around. RIP to the officer.
Damn. He pulled him only for having tinted windows. The irony
And you wonder why the cops are so rough nowadays
bro i actually saw the video like 3 or 2 months ago on Instagram without the blind screem and I thought this guy got away with it …
It’s weird how they don’t ever show the pigs getting dropped but they show the citizens.
What is going on in America is the good people are getting killed the Officer was a good police man he didn't need to get killed
BLM supporters happy now? This is what happens when you want cops to play nice because they fear public shame and humiliation for doing their job. They risk their lives for 40k a year and you all still give them sh!t.
thats terrible (((((((
3:31 peace to the fallon
I assume that guy walking in front of the dash cam after the murder is one of our homeland security agents. He had no concern for the down officer.
It's sad he abused that cop's trust just to kill him. Sad to see one of the good ones go.
OMG….😱😱😱😱 These is what happens when you give criminals rights and let them out lose on society. Bad cops get good cops killed. Prayers to that officer 🙏🙏🙏🙏
And just think the screwed up biden administration (counterfeit administration ) is releasing more and more of these idiots out of prison each day just because of Cova 18🤬😡
If he would have treated him like a black man, he may have been more safe. Lol
After hearing and seeing this, I wish the cops wouldn’t have body cameras for this incident, only for one reason, to set the suspect car and the guy on fire.
Mucha ignorancia de publicidad
En Colombia un policía en casa te va a contestar el piloto
Y policía hizo el procedimiento mal porque están en esa posición no están a posición eso es lo que está abierto me hubiera esperado el piloto de un lado del copiloto
