A former local news anchor from Shreveport is under investigation after three Black men allegedly catfished him in the act of trying to solicit a 15-year-old girl for sex. 

Antonio Coleman, his cousin Kameron Kennon, and friend Kataurio Grigsby told KTAL News Louisiana it is their mission to catch grown men trying to have sex with underage girls. “What we do is like we catch child predators,” Coleman said. The self-described predator hunters have been playing catfish since May 2024 by pretending to be an underage girl online.

They were surprised when it was revealed one of the men they were chatting with was allegedly a former KTBS news anchor and the station’s news director, Bill Lunn.

The three men created a fake profile on the “Meet Me” app using the photo of an underage girl. Lunn sparked a conversation on May 28th. Coleman says he exchanged dozens of text messages, that quickly turned sexual, for hours. “He was like sending pictures to her. He was saying like he wanted to do this to her,” Coleman said. “Explicit things that I can’t say on camera.”

To confirm it was Lunn, the trio allegedly cross-checked Lunn’s LinkedIn account to find the same number he was texting. After allegedly sending sexually explicit photos of himself, Lunn set a date and time for him and the girl to meet on May 29th. Coleman said that as soon as he, his cousin, and his friend jumped out of the car, Lunn ran. “As soon as he saw us, he just darted out,” Coleman said.
