Dallas police released body camera footage Monday showing the fatal shooting of a fugitive who had worked as a security guard for U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett - a man known to colleagues as "Mike King" but whose real name was Diamon-Mazairre Robinson.
Robinson, 39, was shot and killed around 11 p.m. on March 11 in a parking structure on the 1900 block of Medical District Drive, near Children's Medical Center Dallas. Officers from the Dallas Police Fugitive Unit had located Robinson inside a white Mercedes belonging to an acquaintance and spent more than an hour attempting to negotiate his surrender, at one point offering him the chance to speak with family members.
When those efforts failed, SWAT officers were called in. At approximately 11:03 p.m., Robinson began to exit the vehicle. Officers say he then lowered his right hand, produced a handgun, and pointed it at officers. Three SWAT officers fired their rifles, striking Robinson. A SWAT medic attempted life-saving measures, but Robinson was pronounced dead at 11:09 p.m. No officers were injured.
During the investigation, police found 11 weapons - including the stolen handgun Robinson was holding when he was shot. Authorities also recovered fake police uniforms, fake ID badges, and fake credentials from a fictitious dignitary protection agency.
Robinson had been operating under the alias "Mike King" and running a business - Off Duty Police Services - that placed legitimate law enforcement officers in off-duty security jobs across North Texas. Some of those officers told CBS News Texas that Robinson had claimed to be a U.S. Capitol Police detective, a claim that may have triggered the federal investigation into him.
The investigation began in February after Irving police circulated a bulletin about a GMC Yukon with stolen U.S. government license plates. Dallas intelligence detectives linked the vehicle to Robinson and determined he had multiple active felony warrants and a parole violation.
Crockett, in a statement Monday, said her office was "saddened and shocked" and that her team had followed all U.S. House protocols for contracting security. She said the vendor Robinson operated through also worked closely with Capitol Police.
Crockett stated on X:
"As a former public defender, I've always believed people are more than the worst thing they've ever done. I believe in redemption. The man we knew showed up with respect, care, and commitment to protecting others. We're still learning the full story, but today we mourn a life lost."

Crockett acknowledged that Robinson's ability to bypass congressional security vetting processes raises serious questions, saying the situation "highlights" vulnerabilities in how security vendors are screened for members of Congress.
The Dallas County District Attorney's Office is conducting an independent review of the shooting. All officers involved have been placed on standard administrative leave. It remains unclear how Robinson obtained a security license or whether his credentials were properly vetted.
