March 17 (UPI) -- The 39-year-old man killed in a standoff with Dallas police last week was a member of Rep. Jasmine Crockett's security team, her office confirmed, saying it had followed all House protocols when it hired the man it knew as Mike King.
The suspect, who has been identified as Diamon-Maziarre Robinson, was fatally shot by police on Wednesday night in a hospital parking garage following an hours-long standoff. Authorities said he was wanted on multiple felony warrants. SWAT officers opened fire on him after he exited his vehicle with a firearm that he allegedly pointed at police.
Authorities said Monday during a press conference that Robinson falsely represented himself as a federal agent with the non-existent "special dignitary police" agency using false identification. He also allegedly created fraudulent businesses using false identifying information to hire legitimate police officers for off-duty jobs.
He was wanted on two felony theft warrants and for a parole violation, all stemming from around 2017, Dallas Police Department Chief William Kenneth told reporters during the press conference. He was also accused of driving two vehicles with stolen government license plates as well as being in possession of several stolen weapons, including the firearm he brandished during the standoff.
