Tech executive Bob Lee, who created the mobile payment service Cash App, was stabbed to death in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday morning, according to reports.

He was 43 years old.

The tech mogul, who formerly served as the chief technology officer of Square, was attacked in the city’s downtown Rincon Hill neighborhood at 2:35 a.m., according to San Francisco police.

Officers arrived to find the victim, later confirmed to be Lee by CBS News, with multiple stab wounds.

Lee was taken to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, police told the outlet. No arrests have been made as of early Wednesday.

San Francisco police have not released any suspect details, the outlet added.

The Post has reached out to the San Francisco Police Department for comment.

Jake Shields, Lee’s friend and a mixed martial arts champion, revealed Lee was attacked while he was walking.

A drug buy gone wrong? Knives are the hallmark of third world thugs. This is a shame—a promising life viciously cut short.

If you used a firearm in self defense in San Fran you’d go to jail for life regardless of the circumstances.

techies work late. Going home to his wife and family I suspect. It is said that he was in a SAFE section of SF.

People do not understand, there are NO safe sections in CA.

the criminals have cars and legs. You are a target. Just because you normally are ok in an area, doesn’t mean it will be ok each time.

2:35 AM? Especially when most tech work can now be done remotely?

Someone who’s been in prison.

One of many reasons I left SF 35 years ago.

“Prayers up!”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Prayers do NOTHING once we are dead. Also, unless the ‘pray-er’ is a born again child of God, prayers are not heard.

Luke 16:19-31

19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’

Yep. Very glad my work no longer takes me there. San Fran needs to be liberated of commies and third worlders block by block by several marine battalions.

“What was this guy doing on the streets of San Francisco at 2:30am”

When I worked in NYC offices, it was not uncommon to work all night and come out for food/cigs during breaks

I’ll say it again, NOTHING good happens out in public areas after 1:00 am.

Many people must work night shifts, so the real issue is our Communist/Socialist politicians and voters allowing the streets to be unsafe during night hours. Really, these days, at any hour of the day or night.

But mostly night shifts work THROUGH the night, people are at their jobs at 1:00 am.

"If you used a firearm in self defense in San Fran you’d go to jail for life regardless of the circumstances."

Not unless you shoot and kill a white girl with a pistol you say you just found under the bench you are stiing on.

Just as I suspected - dumb libtard was all the way in on the idiotic policies that eventually killed him.

“What was this guy doing on the streets of San Francisco at 2:30am? Has to be much more to this story that will never be told.”

I agree. I want to hear the rest of the story.
