Robert Wayne Lee used social media to pose as a 15-year-old girl to catch sexual predators. While his work led to arrests, he also "mistakenly identified someone as a sexual predator who was not," officials said. https://media.cnn.com/api/v1/images/stellar/prod/231001230508-robert-lee- boopac-shakur-file-2023.jpg?c=16x9&q=h_720,w_1280,c_fill A Michigan man who used social media to try to catch pedophiles was fatally shot during a dispute with a person he accused of being a predator over the weekend, police say. Robert Wayne Lee, 40, boasted a combined following of over 60,000 on Instagram and Facebook, where he was known as Boopac Shakur. He would pose as a 15-year-old girl to lure potential predators and get them arrested a tactic officials considered dangerous, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said. Lee was in a restaurant in Pontiac around 10:30 p.m. Friday when he confronted two people at a table. The sheriffs office said Lee had accused one of the people, an 18-year-old man, of being a pedophile. No further comment was shared about the veracity of his allegation. The confrontation "rapidly escalated," and one of the people fired a pistol, the sheriffs office said in a news release. Lee was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, officials said. Two people were arrested Saturday afternoon in connection with the shooting. The shooting suspect, 17, and a second person, 18, are believed to be from Pontiac, the sheriffs office said. The case remains under investigation. The sheriff's office said it expected to turn the case over to prosecutors for charges Sunday or Monday. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boopac-shakur-outed-pedophiles- online-fatally-shot-restaurant-accusing-rcna118353
