Tech entrepreneur Bob Lee left San Francisco in October amid concerns over public safety and then returned on business and found himself pleading for help in a 911 call after sustaining fatal injuries in a stabbing near the waterfront.
“Help!” he shouted, according to a local report. “Someone stabbed me.”
The tech innovator’s life was cut short around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday in Rincon Hill, a neighborhood on the edge of the San Francisco Bay, according to police.
Police have not publicly identified a suspect, although there is apparent surveillance video from moments after the attack.

The San Francisco Standard reported Wednesday that it had reviewed surveillance video showed the Cash App founder stumbling down the sidewalk away from the Bay Bridge, holding his side before collapsing.

In a statement, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said that the department would not be commenting on evidence in the case due to the active investigation.Â
“I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Mr. Lee,” he said. “There is no place for this kind of violent crime against anyone in our city.”
Lee moved out of crime-ridden San Francisco and relocated to Miami amid safety concerns last fall before returning to the Left Coast on an ill-fated trip that ended in his unsolved stabbing death this week.
He tweeted an aerial photo of the Miami waterfront on Oct. 7 praising the view, but also wrote about returning to California on business.
Before leaving Silicon Valley, he publicly flagged concerns about rising hate crimes against Asian Americans in San Francisco and over the summer wrote that, “I also want to prevent crime and live in a civilized society.”
