Investigators confirm all three suspects are in custody and the highway is once again open.
Kelly Jameson with the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Office clarified late Friday it all started during a routine traffic stop in Hatch at about 3:40 p.m.
Chavez, the Hatch police officer, pulled the suspects over on Franklin Street near "Franciscan RV," a small business. A man inside the car exited and shot Chavez, Jameson said. A second police officer arriving at the scene witnessed the shooting and called for backup.

It was reported earlier that Officer Chavez appeared in pretty good shape, but apparently he died after being airlifted to a hospital. Condolences to his wife and children.
