Last week, many in the tech community were stunned to find out that Cash App creator Bob Lee had been killed in a stabbing attack. It was subsequently reported that Lee had been stabbed in the early morning while out in San Francisco. Overall, this felt like a very random crime that had some up in arms about the crime rates in urban areas. Even Elon Musk got in on this as he tried to make the stabbing a political issue. However, it appears as though this was not just some random crime committed by a person on the street.
According to TMZ, someone has been arrested for allegedly committing the murder. The person in question is Nima Momeni who is reportedly also a tech executive. Momeni is reportedly the founder of a tech startup called ExpandIT. However, there is still no telling what a possible motive could have been here. What we do know is that Momeni has been arrested. Additionally, it is being claimed that Momeni and Bob Lee were in a car together the morning of the alleged murder.

Either way, this is a very shocking story that continues to leave many Silicon Valley executives reeling.
