According to reports, Lee — who was presently serving as the chief product officer for a company called MobileCoin — was walking in the Rincon Hill neighborhood near the Bay Bridge at about 2:30 a.m. local time on Tuesday. At that time, police received a 911 call about a reported stabbing in the area.
When they got to the scene, they found a man who had been stabbed and severely wounded. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, but died of his injuries once there. The medical examiner’s office has not released the name of the murdered man, per CBS News. However, by Tuesday evening, tributes began pouring in online from co-workers, family members, friends, and loved ones confirming Lee was the one killed.
Per NBC Bay Area, police have not made any arrests in the homicide case. They have not released any suspect details, either. As of Wednesday morning, it is unclear if they are tracking any persons of interest.
In addition to his work founding CashApp, Lee had also previously been the chief technology officer of mobile payment platform Square. His current colleagues at MobileCoin released a heartbreaking statement of mourning on Tuesday evening. MobileCoin CEO Josh Goldbard provided this message to CBS News and others:
Goldbard continued:
So sad.
