Cash App founder, murder suspect were out with friends, clashed before killing, source says

New details are emerging about the fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee last week and the tech consultant who has been charged with murder in his killing.

Lee, 43, the chief product officer at cryptocurrency startup MobileCoin, was found bleeding near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge around 2:35 a.m. April 4. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. Nima Momeni, 38, a tech consultant and entrepreneur, was arrested and charged with murder Thursday.

According to a source familiar with the circumstances of the events leading up to the killing, Momeni, Lee and a group of friends had gone out the night of the killing. At some point, Momeni and Lee were in a car alone together, and Momeni became upset at Lee and blamed him for someone in the party having too much to drink, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
