A fugitive whom Dallas SWAT officers shot and killed Wednesday after he pointed a gun at them served as a key member of Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s security detail, CBS News first reported Friday.
The man, who used the alias Mike King, was wanted by police for impersonating a law enforcement officer while running an online business placing actual officers in off-duty jobs, the outlet reported, citing anonymous sources. After officers tracked the alleged security guard to the parking garage of a children’s hospital in Dallas, Texas he drew a gun at them, prompting the SWAT team to fire and kill him at the scene, CBS News reported Wednesday.
Dallas Police Department officials have not named the deceased fugitive or disclosed his relationship to Crockett. However, CBS reported Friday, citing photographs obtained by the outlet, that the man stood in close proximity to the recently defeated Senate candidate during her campaign events. King also was in charge of security teams at multiple Dallas hotels as well as his church, anonymous sources told CBS News.
Crockett paid a man named “Mike King” for “security services” in 2025, according to documents obtained by the outlet. Sources told the outlet that the deceased fugitive had a criminal record, drove a vehicle resembling an undercover police car and used stolen license plates.
The Dallas Police Department and Crockett’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
“These images of Mike King standing close to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett shows how trusted he was as part of her security detail while she’s been in office and while on the campaign trail during her recent run for a U.S. Senate seat,” stated a Friday CBS News Texas broadcast showing video footage Crockett walking next to a man presumed to be King.
Crockett, a left-wing firebrand known for making several incendiary remarks, lost the March 3 Democratic Senate primary to Texas State Rep. James Talarico by six percentage points.
