A tragic police shooting in Dallas, Texas, on March 11, 2026, resulted in the death of 39-year-old Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, who used the alias Mike King and was reportedly a former member of U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s security team.
Incident Overview
Dallas Police Department’s Fugitive Unit pursued Robinson, wanted in connection with an investigation, to a Children’s Medical Center parking garage. He barricaded himself in a vehicle; SWAT deployed tear gas, and upon exiting, he allegedly pointed a gun at officers, prompting them to fire. He was pronounced dead at the scene, with the hospital briefly locked down—no other injuries reported.
Background on Robinson
Robinson had a criminal history including misdemeanor and felony arrests. He operated “Off Duty Police Services,” placing off-duty officers in security jobs at Dallas hotels, events, and his church, while allegedly impersonating law enforcement using a replica undercover vehicle with stolen plates. Photos show him near Crockett at campaign events during her recent U.S. Senate run.
Neither Crockett’s office nor Dallas PD immediately commented. The incident raises concerns about security vetting for public figures, as FEC records indicate payments to “Mike King” for services as recently as last year.
