Quoted: I'm not seeing where the officer being hispanic has anything to do with it. Please fill me in OP. View Quote Cop looked Caucasian and name sounded the same. He might have been a white boy raised in a heavily hispanic area. I know white boys that went the same 50/50 (white/black) school i attended. They sound black. |

Straight up execution. I hope the shooter died slow during that shootout.
Thoughts to the officer's family... |

. Back in the day if we used the locals" to do a stop we were right there backing them up. The uniformed officers were there so there would be no question that we were cops.

I’m sure Joe flew the flag at half mast right? He did it for hookers but I doubt he mentioned this officer.

I remember the second video got posted here a while back, so this is what led up to that, damn.

Quoted: On a side note killed over fucking window tint. Couldn't possibly be any dumber reason to pull someone over... and this time cost the poor cop his life. Did he kill the second cop as well after he was spun out? Looked like he was taking rounds View Quote I bet the Tint was a the fishing in connection to the Feds/State agency running the OPs. if you notice there was a Officer driving past at the same time the Feds were arriving with the medic bag. |

That was a motivated suspect who seemed to have some training.
He was exiting his truck 10 feet before the pit maneuver was finished. Then when his pistol jammed he took cover, got his weapon back into battery, and continued the attack. A guy like that is why LEO's, actually all people, should take their training seriously. When the day comes will you be ready? Someone out there is training to be able to kill you faster than you can kill them. Train as hard as you can. |

Poor guy gave his life because shitty tactics and drugs that are legal in other places. Gov never cares about sending good men to die for bullshit. They'll send his wife and kids a flag and a letter written by some desk jockey, then go snort coke in their taxpayer funded mansion. RIP Officer. You deserved better.

The officer shouldn't have been put in that situation.
If they told him to make the stop before they were there, they hold responsibility for his death. This sounds like a guy they knew was extremely dangerous. |

Couldn't possibly be any dumber reason to choose to die!" |

Caught with 37 pounds of coke and he was out less than 8 years later.
JFC! |

Fuck. I know there’s a bunch of MMQBing going on here. And for good reason. I’d wager that HSI needed a uniform to make the stop and were close behind. Then either they got hung up at a stop light or the shitbag noticed a marked ride behind him and self initiated the stop. Shit - I hope this isn’t the case but the officer may not have had the full story.
RIP Officer Jarrott |

Quoted: That wasn't the actual reason for the stop, that was just his probable cause to pull him over. Dude should of waited for his backup. They were only 4 minutes out. View Quote Super heavy tint and temp tags? Good reason for a stop. Once the guy claimed he didn't have his DL on him his chance of having a warrant or suspended license go up to roughly 100% |

Quoted: I don't understand why the officer asked the suspect to accompany him back to his car. I was taught let them stay there (unless it's a felony car stop). You are responsible for their safety if a motorist whacks them while they are outside of their vehicle. RIP officer and I'm glad your comrades helped your killer into the afterlife. View Quote Based on an HSI team being right there, he was a known drug or human trafficker. Normally they try and drive off, not shoot it out. |

OP,
They're both of Hispanic heritage. The officer has a typical NM accent and was a US citizen from birth. He was born in Silver City NM and was raised in Lordsburg NM. From the video link. 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. View Quote Interesting story on the officer's brother. Trooper Darian Jarret Obituary |

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. |
