(CNN) A Michigan man who claimed to expose alleged child predators online for his thousands of social media followers was shot and killed after confronting two teenagers late Friday night, according to police.
Robert Wayne Lee, 40, would pose as a 15-year-old girl online to lure out and expose suspected pedophiles, the Oakland County sheriffs office said in a news release.
He published videos of his exploits to over 11,000 followers on Facebook and over 45,000 followers on Instagram. Some of those videos appear to show him engaging in violent confrontations with alleged predators.
Lee confronted two teenagers Friday night a 17- and 18-year-old at a restaurant in Pontiac. He accused one of being a pedophile and punched him, according to the police news release.
