The man convicted of the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee was sentenced Tuesday.
In December of 2024, a jury found tech consultant Nima Momeni guilty of second-degree murder, rejecting the defendant’s claim that he had acted in self-defense.
On April 4, 2023, Lee, a renowned tech mogul, was found staggering on a deserted downtown street in San Francisco, dripping a trail of blood and calling for help. The 43-year-old later died at a hospital. Momeni has remained in custody since his arrest nine days after the killing.
Before imposing the sentence, the judge over the case rejected Momeni’s request for a new trial. He was sentenced to 16 years to life in prison. His attorneys said they plan to appeal.
