San Francisco police arrest suspect in Cash App founder Bob Lee’s murder

San Francisco police have arrested a suspect in connection to the murder of CashApp founder and tech executive, Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed to death last week.

Mission Local reports that law enforcement officers arrested the suspect early Thursday morning in nearby Emeryville.

The outlet which was the first to report on the development disclosed that the suspect, identified as Nima Momeni, appears to work in tech and reportedly knew Lee.

Although police are yet to release a statement, the executive’s ex-wife, Krista Lee, confirmed the arrest to KTVU and said she believed Momeni knew Lee.

In a Twitter post, on Thursday San Francisco Board of Supervisors, member Matt Dorsey commended the police department for their work.

He wrote, “I’m grateful to #SFPD’s Homicide Detail and all the officers from #SFPDSouthern and elsewhere for their tireless work to bring Bob Lee’s killer to justice and for their arrest of a suspect this morning.

“Nothing can undo this senseless crime, and we reiterate our condolences to Mr Lee’s family members, friends and colleagues. But I hope today’s arrest can begin a process of healing and closure for all those touched by this tragedy.”
