Texas 'vigilante', 24, is charged with murdering convicted pedophile 'after posing as underage child on app then shooting him dead during arranged meet-up'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • James Lewis Spencer admitted to shooting dead Sean Connery Showers, 37

  • Pair talked on Kik, a social media app popular with teenagers, with Spencer posing as a child, agreeing to meet for sex

  • Instead he ambushed Showers and gunned him down from his car

  • He was arrested without incident on Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder, facing the Harris County District Court on Thursday

Showers was sent to federal prison for 30 months for child porn possession in 2009, and jailed again for two years in 2019 for not registering as a sex offender.

Detectives spoke to Spencer's girlfriend, who told them he was frustrated police weren't doing more to keep pedophiles locked up.

Spencer was given a $250,000 bail ahead of his next court appearance on Monday, but was yet to post the bond as was still behind bars.

After prosecutors pointed out he was already out on bail on drug charges, he was ordered on 24-hour house arrest with GPS monitoring, and having no access to firearms, ammunition, or weapons.
