Tech Titan's Murder Shakes Silicon Valley: A Personal Loss for His Family

Tech Titan's Murder Shakes Silicon Valley: A Personal Loss for His Family

Bob Lee, the tech executive who was tragically fatally stabbed on a San Francisco street in 2023, became the center of a high-profile case that deeply impacted Silicon Valley. For his loved ones, however, it was more than just a public tragedy—it was personal.

Lee’s children are now speaking out about their father's death and the murder trial involving Nima Momeni, who was convicted of killing Lee.

The daughter of Bob Lee, Scout Lee, recalled the gut-wrenching moment at the end of the trial of her father’s accused killer. Scout, 16, said her “stomach dropped” when the jury’s verdict was announced. After seven days of deliberations, in December, the jury acquitted tech consultant Nima Momeni of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Lee on April 4, 2023.

“I felt a ringing in my ear,” Scout Lee said in her first interview about her father’s murder trial. “I just felt so overwhelmed.”
“I grabbed onto my mom’s hand and squeezed it and cried,” she added.

Scout, who described herself as her father’s “mini-me,” said she felt a sense of relief when, just after the acquittal, Momeni was convicted of second-degree murder, a lesser charge.
“But I don’t know if it was the type of justice I wanted,” she admitted, noting that she believed prosecutors had presented compelling evidence that the murder was premeditated.

The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office had accused Momeni, 40, of killing Lee after his sister alleged she was sexually assaulted by a man Lee had introduced her to. That man, Jeremy Boivin, was never charged, and in his first interview since the trial, Boivin denied the accusation to “Dateline,” claiming he never assaulted Khazar Momeni.

During the trial, which began in October, Momeni testified that he had acted in self-defense when he fatally stabbed Lee. Momeni is facing a prison sentence of 16 years to life and plans to appeal the conviction. His sentencing is scheduled for May 16.

Bob Lee, 43, was the founder of the popular money transfer service Cash App and served as an executive at Square and Mobile Coin. He was fatally stabbed three times with a paring knife under the Bay Bridge, just east of downtown San Francisco. One of the wounds punctured his heart, according to San Francisco Police Sgt. Brent Dittmer.
