A Texas man is charged with murder after allegedly posing as a minor to meet and kill a convicted sex offender, according to authorities.

The Houston Police Department alleges that in May 2023, James Spencer III, 22, shot and killed victim Sean Connery Showers, 37.

Police claim Showers approached a vehicle in the early morning hours of May 29 and then was shot by the suspect, who at the time was unidentified. Upon further investigation, police arrested Spencer, who they claim admitted to the killing.

Showers was found in a ditch with multiple gunshot wounds, police say.

Citing authorities, Click 2 Houston and ABC 13 report that Spencer allegedly claimed to be a minor online, in an attempt to lure Showers under the guise of sex, who he believed was a sex offender.

Showers pleaded guilty to possessing child sex abuse material in 2009, federal authorities said at the time, ABC 13 reports. Showers was sentenced to 30 months in prison and then to two years in 2019 for failing to register as a sex offender, per the outlet.

I think the “cruel and unusual” needs to be dropped in the case of child sexual abuse

I would say he’d been molested, perhaps by someone else, but one dead child rapist is just as good as the next.

Mixed feelings here. Not sure there is a crime.

Why couldn’t he bury him? Hide the evidence.

He’s right. The justice system will protect us.

Jury nullification.

I wonder if Spencer had been molested as a child and decided to take matters into his own hands.

Certainly the government is doing nothing to stop predators. At least this pervert won’t be able to harm any more children.

What *victim*? Surely you don’t mean the child molester who got shot?

It is also being reported that Spencer told others that he intended to not just kill, but rob sex offenders.

If that is accurate, Spencer is facing a Capital Murder charge in Harris County.

Was the dead guy targeted, or was the shooter trolling for any old prevert?
