Nima Momeni Found Guilty of Second-Degree Murder in Bob Lee Stabbing Case

The tech consultant's conviction follows a high-profile trial over the 2023 killing of Cash App founder Bob Lee in San Francisco.

A San Francisco jury convicted Nima Momeni of second-degree murder for fatally stabbing Bob Lee in April 2023, rejecting claims of self-defense.
The fatal stabbing occurred after an argument regarding Lee's relationship with Momeni's sister and allegations about her involvement with drugs and a sexual assault incident.
Prosecutors argued that Momeni planned the attack, using a knife taken from his sister's kitchen and driving Lee to a secluded location near the Bay Bridge.
The defense maintained that Momeni acted in self-defense after Lee allegedly became aggressive during a drug-fueled altercation.
Momeni faces a sentence of 16 years to life in prison, with the case drawing significant attention due to Lee's prominence in the tech industry and the broader implications for San Francisco's public safety narrative.
