SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The man accused of stabbing Cash App founder Bob Lee to death in the overnight hours of April 4 is due in court at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Nima Momeni will get a second chance this morning to enter his plea.
The 38-year-old man is accused of fatally stabbing Lee with a kitchen knife just off the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Momeni was arrested in his Emeryville home on April 13 and charged with one count of murder. Prosecutors are seeking no bail.
Prosecutors said Momeni drove Lee to a dark area, stabbed him and sped off, leaving Lee to die. The motive is still unclear, but officials said that Lee was friends with Momeni's sister. Prosecutors said hours before the fatal attack, Momeni confronted Lee about whether his sister was doing drugs or anything inappropriate.
