Nima Momeni, a 38-year-old technology entrepreneur, has been arrested in the fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee in San Francisco. Police said he was an acquaintance of the victim and the murder wasn't a reflection of random violence on the city's streets. Momeni is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Friday and prosecutors plan to request that he be held without bail pending his trial. Police chief William Scott declined to discuss details of the incident or a potential motive, but emphasized that the suspect and the victim knew each other. Jenkins scolded social media users, including Twitter owner Elon Musk, for erroneous speculation about the murder.
Musk also tagged Jenkins, asking whether the city is taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders. Jenkins acknowledged that the killing of a high-profile technology innovator "has rocked our city and even beyond" and that she has worked tirelessly to ensure that San Franciscans not only feel safer, but actually are safer.
