Protected Witness Killed After Skipping Protection

(San Francisco, California) A 40-year-old prosecution witness, Justin Lee, was chased and killed on Monday, the same day he left a witness protection safe house in another part of the state.

Lee was placed in the witness protection program in December after he was threatened. Authorities believed he had a "price on his head." Subsequently, he was repeatedly warned not to return to San Francisco without an armed escort.

Sadly, he didn't heed the warning.
