San Francisco police have arrested a Bay Area man in connection with last week's stabbing death of tech titan and Cash App founder Bob Lee, according to local reports.

Lee was found dead with stab wounds in the city's upscale Rincon Hill neighborhood around 2:30 a.m. on April 4.

Surveillance video showed his harrowing final moments, as he staggered down the sidewalk, appealing to a passing driver and banging on a door for help.

He found none in either place, but was able to call 911 himself.

"This is the first step toward justice," Lee's wife, Krista Lee, told the Oakland-based FOX 2. She said she believes the suspect knew her husband but she did not know the motive.

The suspect was taken into custody early Thursday, reported Mission Local, a local news site.

Arrest made in SF killing of Bob Lee — tech exec’s alleged killer also worked in tech
by Joe Eskenazi April 13, 2023

Mission Local is informed that the San Francisco Police Department early this morning made an arrest in the April 4 killing of tech executive Bob Lee, following an operation undertaken outside the city’s borders. The alleged killer also works in tech and is a man Lee purportedly knew.

We are told that police today were dispatched to Emeryville with a warrant to arrest a man named Nima Momeni. The name and Emeryville address SFPD officers traveled to correspond with this man, the owner of a company called Expand IT....

Lee and Momeni were portrayed by police as being familiar with one another. In the wee hours of April 4, they were purportedly driving together through downtown San Francisco in a car registered to the suspect.

Some manner of confrontation allegedly commenced while both men were in the vehicle, and potentially continued after Lee exited the car. Police allege that Momeni stabbed Lee multiple times with a knife that was recovered not far from the spot on the 300 block of Main Street to which officers initially responded.  ... Mission Local
