Overview
- Dallas police identified the man as 39-year-old Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, who for years used the alias “Mike King” and ran Off Duty Police Services while allegedly creating credentials for a fictitious “Specialty Dignitary Police.”
- Officers tracked Robinson to Children’s Medical Center Dallas on March 11, negotiated for hours, deployed tear gas, and shot him after he exited a vehicle and drew a handgun; body-worn and dash camera footage was released Monday.
- Authorities said Robinson had multiple felony warrants dating to 2017, a parole violation, two vehicles with stolen government license plates, and multiple stolen firearms, including the handgun recovered at the scene.
- Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Robinson worked on her security team under the name Mike King, stated her office followed House contracting protocols, and called the episode evidence of loopholes in vetting; her team said an initial review found no violent offenses in his local record.
- Federal and Dallas police investigations continue into alleged impersonation, stolen government plates and firearms, and campaign filings show a $340 payment to “Mike King” for security services last year.
