Suspect and Cash App founder Bob Lee appear to have actually argued prior to the murder, files reveal

Nima Momeni, the male implicated of killing Money App creator Bob Lee appears to have actually entered into an argument with Lee prior to his death, according to files launched by the San Francisco District Attorney's workplace.

A message from Momeni's sister to Lee from sometime that night revealed the sibling monitoring in on Lee after the disagreement. The text message, per the files from the district lawyer's office, specified: "Just wished to make certain your doing ok Cause I know nima came wayyyyyy down hard on you And thank you for being such an elegant man handling it with class."

The motion-to-detain files also mention a witness talked to by authorities and security camera video, providing a comprehensive timeline of where Lee and Momeni were leading up to Lee's death.

A witness, described as a buddy of Lee's, said he visited a house after being welcomed by Lee on April 3, where Lee was consuming with a female later determined as Momeni's sister, the file states.

The witness told cops the female was wed however her "relationship was possibly in jeopardy," and the witness was not sure if the lady and Lee had an intimate relationship, according to the file. Lee later informed the witness that they were going to go to his hotel room, where he welcomed the woman however she had actually declined.

While at the hotel space, the witness said Lee was having a discussion with Momeni, which involved Momeni saying he was picking up his sister from the house Lee and the witness were previously at, according the document. Momeni asked Lee "whether his sibling was doing drugs or anything unsuitable," the file states. Lee had actually told Momeni absolutely nothing improper took place, according to the file.

Lee was stabbed to death in the Rincon Hill community of San Francisco early in the early morning of April 4. An autopsy found Lee was "stabbed 3 different times, once in the hip and two times in the chest," according to the documents. One of the stab wounds "straight penetrated" Lee's heart, triggering his death.

Momeni appeared in a San Francisco court previously Friday for an arraignment that came one day after cops revealed his arrest. Momeni's arraignment is set to continue on April 25.
After the conversation with Momeni, Lee and the witness went to Lee's home till about 12:30 a.m. on April 4, when Lee left, the file says.

Monitoring video shows Momeni getting to his sister's apartment building in a white BMW around 8:30 p.m. on April 3, and later on shows Lee getting in the building around 12:39 a.m. on April 4. A little after 2 a.m., security footage shows Lee and Momeni going into an elevator together and entering Momeni's BMW. Extra video from the location reveals the two driving around in the cars and truck together.

Video then shows the BMW drive to a "dark and remote location" on Main Street, just out of view for the video to see the interaction between the 2 men, per the document.

Ultimately the two topics, who are unidentifiable by their faces but seem to be using the very same clothing, appear back in frame. After about 5 minutes, the subject wearing a white colored top, consistent with what Momeni appeared to be using, "all of a sudden move( s) toward the other topic," the document states. The 2 subjects then separate.

The subject in dark-colored clothes, who authorities think to be Lee, strolls northbound, while the subject in the light-colored clothing strolls south and stops along a fence, where a knife was eventually recovered, the file says. The BMW then "leaves at a high rate of speed," the document states.

Lee's household calls for justice

Members of his household sitting in the front row held up heart signs with their hands when Momeni got in the courtroom on Friday. Momeni, who was not cuffed, acknowledged them and smiled back.

In announcing his arrest Thursday, law enforcement explained Momeni as a 38-year-old guy from Emeryville, California and stated Momeni and Lee knew one another, but didn't provide additional details about their connection. California Secretary of State Records suggest that Momeni has actually been the owner of an IT organization.

Numerous in the tech world and beyond responded to news of Lee's death with an outpouring of shock and sorrow.

Lee's household released a declaration Thursday thanking the San Francisco Police Department "for bringing his killer to Justice" after Momeni's arrest.

" Our next actions will be to deal with the District Attorney's office to guarantee that this person is not allowed to injure anyone else or stroll complimentary," the declaration said.

In the declaration, the family described Lee's training, his profession, and the impact of the innovation he helped develop.

" Every day around the world, people communicate with innovation that Bob assisted develop. Bob will live on through these interactions and his dreams of enhancing all of our lives," the statement checks out.
