According to fresh court records revealed on Friday, IT consultant Nima Momeni fatally stabbed CashApp founder Bob Lee in the heart after the two argued about the suspect's sister and whether they were acting in a "inappropriate" manner. Before Lee was assassinated in the early hours of April 4 in San Francisco, according to police, Momeni and the dead tech entrepreneur spoke on the phone about his sister, Khazar Momeni, who was married to someone else. Police were informed by an alleged witness that Nima interrogated Lee about his sister, Khazar, asking if she was "doing drugs or anything inappropriate." Khazar is married to a well-known plastic surgeon.
Lee, 43, persuaded the man he was allegedly murdering that nothing improper had taken place. The relationship between Lee and Khazar, who was not identified in the court filings, was not further discussed by the police. The witness informed the authorities that they were unsure whether Lee and Khazar had a "intimate relationship." At the time of his murder, Lee had recently moved from California to Florida with his father. He was also estranged from his wife, with whom he shared two young kids.
The prosecution papers claim that on that fatal night, Nima took Lee to a "dark and secluded area" in San Francisco and used a kitchen knife to stab him through the heart. According to authorities, Khazar brought the knife from his house, proving that the murder was "planned and deliberate." Around the time of Lee's murder, according to the records, Khazar texted Lee to see how he was doing. I know that Nima hit you quite hard, so I just wanted to make sure you're doing okay, she wrote.
And thank you for handling it in such a gentlemanly manner. I adore you selfish jerks. After a thorough investigation, Nima was detained on Thursday morning. His sister and her husband were there when he made his court debut on Friday. She gave him a love sign in return as he flashed it to her from the dock. On April, Nima is scheduled to be formally charged. Lee was separated from his wife, with whom he shared two young girlfriends, and was living in Florida with his father at the time of his murder. Nima was arrested Thursday morning and prosecutors intend to charge him with murder.
He is expected to be charged on April 25 and faces more than 20 years in prison if convicted. Police paint a somewhat blurred picture of Lee's final hours and say that on the afternoon of April 3 he went to the multi-million dollar Khazar apartment where they met with a witness and someone else who lived in the apartment , had a drink. This apartment has now been searched by the police. The witness and Lee then returned to the San Francisco tech titan's hotel room while he was on the phone with Nima. The witness stayed and never saw Lee again. Police did not specify Lee's relationship with the witness, but said they had known each other for about ten years.
On the morning of April 4, the witness called Khazar and after that, Lee left without knowing where he had gone. The sister said yes, but only stayed "a moment" - adding that she fell asleep and didn't know where he went. Video footage from his sister's home confirms that Lee returned to Khazar's home in the early hours of April 4. He also shows it with Nima in the elevator at 2:03 am.in a stately home before the two climbed into the suspected killer's white BMW.
Soon after, authorities said grainy video captured Lee and Nima for about five minutes in a deserted part of the affluent Rincon Hills neighborhood in front of the BMW. Nima allegedly stabbed Lee "three times" during that time, prosecutors said in their motion to hold the suspect without bail. "One of the wounds, which showed a clear and direct intent to kill, pierced the victim's heart," wrote Deputy District Attorney Omid Talai.
