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.

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 sheriff�s 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 sheriff�s 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 sheriff�s 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.
