Cash App founder Bob Lee was stabbed to death in a “good part” of the city according to one of his friends, highlighting concerns about violent criminality in the west coast city.
The murder of the cryptocurrency start-up creator has rocked Silicon Valley and prompted questions about the inadequacy of the police response.
Surveillance camera footage shows the 43-year-old father being stabbed multiple times outside a luxury apartment building situated near the headquarters of major finance and tech companies including Google.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded to the tragedy by blaming the progressive city’s soft approach towards criminals.
“Many people I know have been severely assaulted,” tweeted Musk, adding, “Violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately.”
Musk asked San Francisco’s chief prosecutor, Brooke Jenkins if the city was “taking stronger action to incarcerate repeat violent offenders.”
The SpaceX founder was responding to another tweet by Jake Shields, a friend of Lee’s and a former UFC champion, who said Lee “was in the “good” part of the city and appeared to have been targeted in a random mugging/attack.”
Shields said authorities were “turning a blind eye” to crime and that “criminals now feel emboldened to kill people.”
According to a New York Post report, the murder took place in a “well-to-do San Francisco neighborhood.”
Last month, a CNN reporter was the victim of a ‘smash-and-grab‘ robbery while reporting on San Francisco’s “rampant street crime.”
Last summer, major business owners threatened to stop paying property taxes unless authorities rampant crime, vandalism and homelessness.
Crime data from the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) shows that there have been 12 murders in the first three months of this year.
