Bob Lee, former Square chief technology officer and Cash App founder, killed in San Francisco
The San Francisco police chief says he has “100% confidence” in his homicide unit amid criticism over slow progress in the investigation into the fatal stabbing of Cash App founder Bob Lee.
William Scott told CBS News that the department was continuing to chase promising leads.
“We have a lot on our plate with this investigation and following up things that need to be followed up on,” he said.
When asked if it was a random or targeted attack, Mr Scott said: “It’s too early to tell.”
Gruesome details continue to emerge about the murder which reportedly took place during an early morning mugging, but authorities have not said anything about being close to arresting a suspect.
Mr Lee was found mortally wounded outside a luxury residential building near Rincon Hill at 2.35am on Tuesday after bystanders allegedly failed to help the tech mogul as he looked for help.
The case has sparked fresh outrage over crime in the city, with friends revealing that Mr Lee had recently relocated to Miami for that reason.
“He did comment on San Francisco deteriorating,” a former MMA fighter and friend of Mr Lee, Jake Shields, told NewsNation.
