Jasmine Crockett's Security Guard Fatally Shot by SWAT Team in Standoff, on Video

Jasmine Crockett's security guard, who was shot and killed by a SWAT team in Texas, was captured on video in a police standoff moments before his death.

The Dallas Police Department held a press conference Monday and released dashcam footage showing what led up to Diamon-Mazairre Robinson's fatal encounter with law enforcement on March 11. Robinson had been working security for Crockett since 2023, when she began her first term in Congress as a Texas representative. 

In the footage, cops say, Robinson was driving a car with stolen plates leading Dallas PD officers on a chase, which ended inside a hospital parking garage. As you can see, Robinson is surrounded by officers who order him out of his vehicle, telling him to drop his gun.

Robinson slowly emerges from the passenger side of his car with his hands up, and smoke begins emanating from the car's interior ... then he reaches for something around his waist. One cop screams, "Don't reach! Don't do it! Don't do it!" The video then freezes before Robinson is shot to death by police.

Cops said Robinson had multiple felony warrants as well as a parole violation warrant for impersonating a police officer and for possessing stolen license plates. Robinson also went by several aliases, including "Mike King."

Crockett issued a statement Monday, saying her team followed all protocols outlined by the House of Representatives to contract additional security. She said Robinson had been approved for hiring, but she knew him as Mike King.
