Arrest Made in Killing of Bob Lee, Tech Executive in San Francisco

The San Francisco Police Department has made an arrest in the killing of Bob Lee, the popular cash app founder. The suspect, Nima Momeni, is a 38-year-old tech entrepreneur from Emeryville, California. The police say that they already knew each other before the incident, and that Lee was killed in a car by Momeni on April 4 from multiple knife wounds. The arrest comes after a heavily publicized push by the community to bring Lee's killer to justice.

Lee's murder was initially considered a part of a spate of violent crime that has shaken San Francisco's tech-obsessed community, leading to criticism of the authorities. However, the police have maintained that the crime was personal rather than a robbery or a random attack. Despite the arrest, investigations into Lee's murder is still ongoing.

Lee, who was 43 at the time of his death, left behind a legacy as one of the founders of Cash App and the chief product officer of cryptocurrency company MobileCoin.
