A man killed by Dallas SWAT was identified as a member of Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s security detail, after allegedly using a false identity to obtain the work. Crockett said the case raised concerns about security-vetting gaps and said her office had followed House protocols.
CBS News reported that Diamon-Mazairre Robinson was killed by a Dallas SWAT team after officers pursued him to a hospital parking garage, where he exited his vehicle with a gun. The article says he had 11 weapons and that the gun he pulled on officers was allegedly stolen. It also reports that Robinson had a criminal record and was under federal investigation for impersonating a police officer.
The article says Robinson used the name “Mike King” and ran a company that placed off-duty officers in security details. Crockett expressed concern that he had passed vetting for her security detail, while also saying her office had followed House protocols and had been approved to use the vendor. Her office said Robinson had not appeared suspicious to them and announced it would not answer further questions until it received more information.
