Reported arrest in Bob Lee stabbing murder

This tragic event, in which a tech leader was stabbed to death at 2am on San Francisco streets, was held up as an example of SF's descent under liberal soft on crime policies, even though Boudin was recalled last year. The stabbing was presumed as random, a robbery or homeless assault. Facts proved to be a bit different

Mission Local is informed that the San Francisco Police Department early this morning made an arrest in the April 4 killing of tech executive Bob Lee, following an operation undertaken outside the city’s borders. The alleged killer also works in tech and is a man Lee purportedly knew.


Rather, Lee and Momeni were portrayed by police as being familiar with one another. In the wee hours of April 4, they were purportedly driving together through downtown San Francisco in a car registered to the suspect.

Some manner of confrontation allegedly commenced while both men were in the vehicle, and potentially continued after Lee exited the car. Police allege that Momeni stabbed Lee multiple times with a knife that was recovered not far from the spot on the 300 block of Main Street to which officers initially responded.

 

Another San Francisco crime narrative given additional context:

 

Matt Yglesias has anecdata about San Francisco literally being overrun by crime due to reduced police funding, despite a so-called tough on crime prosecutor, but Radley Balko has the actual data

 

Looks like a massive theft ring has been discovered in San Francisco. I doubt it will inspire outrage
