Law enforcement took Nima Momeni into custody on Thursday after being dispatched to Emeryville, CA, with an arrest warrant, reported Mission Local. Momeni owns a tech company called Expand IT and reportedly knew Lee.

Police sources told the outlet that Lee, 43, and Momeni were driving together in downtown San Francisco in the early hours of April 4 — the same morning the Cash App founder was wounded and wandering injured down the streets begging for help.

The vehicle was reportedly registered to the suspect. Investigators reportedly believe a confrontation ensued between the two men inside the car and continued as Lee exited. They suspect that Momeni allegedly stabbed Lee several times with a knife that was later recovered near the spot on 300 block of Main Street, where officers were dispatched to help an injured Lee.

Police are still investigating a motive.

The connection between Lee and the suspect appears to show Bob's murder was not a random act, as many expected. Following his death, fellow tech moguls like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey spoke out, with the Tesla CEO blasting the spree of “violent crime” in SF.
