Dallas Police identified the man fatally shot by SWAT officers last week as 39-year-old Diamon-Maziarre Robinson, who authorities say used the alias “Mike King.”
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, officers shot Robinson during an armed standoff in a hospital parking garage after he allegedly pointed a firearm at law enforcement.
Bodycam Footage Released
Police released body camera footage showing officers pursuing Robinson from downtown Dallas to the parking structure, where the standoff unfolded.

The footage shows Robinson refusing repeated commands to surrender before exiting his vehicle and allegedly raising a gun toward officers. Officers then fired multiple shots.
Dallas Police said they believe the shooting was justified based on the footage and the circumstances observed by responding officers.
Weapons, Fake Credentials, And Alleged Impersonation
Investigators recovered 11 weapons following the shooting, including the firearm Robinson allegedly pointed at officers, which police say was stolen.
Authorities also found fake law enforcement-style uniforms, counterfeit identification badges, and materials tied to what police described as a fictitious dignitary protection agency.
Police said Robinson drove a black GMC Yukon equipped with flashing red and blue emergency lights, which would be illegal for a civilian vehicle. Irving police issued a bulletin on February 17 after reports that the vehicle displayed stolen military license plates.
Criminal History And Aliases
Dallas Police said Robinson had multiple felony convictions for theft and auto theft between 2009 and 2017 and had active warrants at the time of the encounter.
Officials said Robinson used multiple aliases over several years, which made it difficult to confirm his identity.
“He was very good at hiding his true identity, and through great police work from the intelligence unit in the Irving police, through technology, we were able to determine who his real identity was,” said Dallas Police Deputy Chief William Griffith. “But he had been living this for many years, as this ‘Mike King.’”
Crockett Responds
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett confirmed that Robinson had worked on her security team and addressed the situation in a statement released Monday.
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.

Her office said her team followed all protocols outlined by the House when contracting additional security services and confirmed the vendor had received approval and worked with other law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Capitol Police.
“The fact that an individual was able to somehow circumvent the vetting processes for something as sensitive as security for members of Congress highlights the loopholes and shortcomings in many of our systems,” the statement reads. “This is incredibly alarming, especially for those members who receive high volumes of credible and sophisticated death threats.”
Crockett’s office also described Robinson’s role and conduct while working with her team.
“We are praying for the friends and family of the man that we knew as Mike King,” the statement reads. “There was never any reason to suspect that he wasn’t who he held himself out to be. He never endangered our team, worked diligently, coordinated with local law enforcement, and maintained positive relationships throughout the community. Mike always conducted himself respectfully and with care for those around him.”
The statement continued:
“As a former public defender, the Congressman has always believed that people have an immense capacity for redemption and deserve second chances. What we’re now learning about his past doesn’t fit the person we came to know as Mike King. His death evokes a range of emotions. Our hearts grieve the loss of someone we knew and the lost good that could have come from his redemption.”
Ongoing Scrutiny
The release of the footage and new details has intensified scrutiny of private security arrangements, impersonation risks, and vetting procedures tied to public officials and off-duty law enforcement work.
The investigation remains ongoing.
