A man who was part of Rep. Jasmine Crockett's security detail and employed off-duty police officers for his security company was shot and killed after a standoff with SWAT officers in Dallas. Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, 39, operated a private security firm called Off Duty Police Services under the alias 'Mike King' and was wanted by investigators for reportedly impersonating a law enforcement officer.

Why it matters

This incident raises questions about the vetting process for security personnel, especially those with access to elected officials, and the potential risks of private security firms employing active-duty police officers for off-duty work.

The details

Robinson had a criminal history that included seven arrests for theft between 2009 and 2012, though he never served prison time. During the standoff, Robinson barricaded himself inside a vehicle in the parking garage of Children's Medical Center Dallas, and when he emerged brandishing a weapon, officers opened fire.

  • The standoff between SWAT officers and Robinson took place last week.
  • Robinson was recently seen flanking Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett during her recent U.S. Senate seat primary run.
