A San Francisco jury has found tech consultant Nima Momeni, 40, guilty of second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee. The verdict, announced Tuesday morning after seven days of deliberations, rejected Momeni's claim of self-defense. Momeni was found not guilty of first-degree murder, indicating the jury did not find the killing to be premeditated. The incident occurred on April 4, 2023, when Momeni drove Lee to a secluded area under the Bay Bridge and stabbed him three times with a kitchen knife. The high-profile case drew widespread attention in the tech community and highlighted concerns over safety in San Francisco. Momeni faces a sentence of 16 years to life in prison.
