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. 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. He accused one of being a pedophile and punched him, according to the police news release. In at least one case, Lee’s endeavors led to a former police officer facing charges, a police department spokesperson told CNN.
