PART 1 OF 10 @Cop Watch obtained lapel footage from multiple agencies of the February 4th, 2021 officer involved shooting that involved @New Mexico State Police Officer Darian Jarrott being brutally executed by convicted felon and known drug smuggler Omar Cueva.
Cueva was under federal investigation and surveillance by Homeland Security Investigators and the agency asked New Mexico State Police to initiate a traffic stop for them before a drug buy in Las Cruces, N.M.
Cueva fired 11 shots at Officer Jarrott with two of them being point blank. Six rounds struck Officer Jarrott from official autopsy reports.
After Officer Jarrott was killed a massive man hunt was under way by federal, state, local, and county agencies to find Omar Cueva.
This video is a narrative of the agencies that rushed to the call and did everything they could to get Officer Jarrott’s killer off the street. Cueva was killed in a shoot out near the Hotel Blvd. exit in Las Cruces, N.M.
We will have a playlist with interviews from people involved on the February 4th, 2021 incident in a playlist.
Officer Jarrott is survived by his wife and 3 children with one baby on the way.
