Bob Lee, the founder of Cash App, had cocaine, ketamine, alcohol, and levocetirizine in his system when he died with three stab wounds in a San Francisco hospital in early April. Nima Momeni, a Bay Area entrepreneur, was arrested and charged with Lee’s murder.

According to a witness, Momeni confronted Lee after he allegedly used drugs with Momeni’s sister. Lee was later stabbed through the heart and seen stumbling down the street, begging for help and calling 911. Lee died in the hospital, where doctors attempted to treat his wounds with an emergency thoracotomy.

Lee met with Khazar Momeni, the sister of the suspected killer, hours before his death. Investigators pieced together the crime with the help of surveillance video from her apartment building and nearby.

Police recovered the suspected murder weapon, a bloody kitchen knife, and surveillance video showed Lee and Nima Momeni leaving the sister’s apartment, getting into a car, and driving to a location near where Lee was later found with three stab wounds. Momeni was arrested on April 13 and was due in court for his arraignment on Tuesday afternoon.
