Michigan online pedophile hunter Robert Wayne Lee, 40, known as "Boopac Shakur," was shot and killed during a confrontation with two young men at a Pontiac restaurant Friday night.
The man pulled a knife during the altercation, and the other drew a pistol, shooting Lee several times before fleeing the scene, the report said.Police arrested two Pontiac men, ages 17 and 18, Saturday in connection with the killing and detectives are expected to quickly turn the case over to prosecutors for potential charges.
According to the report, Lee was a self-proclaimed "vigilante doing police work without a badge." He posed as a minor online to arrange meetings with adults that contacted him, then recorded and posted the confrontations that occurred during those meetings.
