A New Mexico police officer was tragically shot and killed during a routine traffic stop that set off a 40-mile chase earlier this year, ending with the suspect also dying in a shootout with police.
Police said Cueva had a "violent criminal history," including drug charges involving cocaine and meth. When Officer Jarrott, who was speaking to Cueva through the passenger window, asked him to step out of the vehicle, Cueva got out of the pickup truck with an AR-15-style rifle and fired a shot at Jarrott.
