Cash App creator Bob Lee was screaming for help moments after he was stabbed, before he collapsed and died, according to chilling 911 audio.
“There’s a male screaming ‘help,’ saying ‘someone stabbed me,’” a dispatcher can be heard saying in the 911 call. “Advised he is bleeding out. He’s outside on the street.”
Lee, 43, who formerly served as the chief technology officer of Square, was attacked in the city’s Rincon Hill neighborhood around 2:35 a.m. Tuesday, according to San Francisco police officials.
He suffered several stab wounds.
No arrest has been made or suspects announced by police.
Lee was rushed to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The dad of two young girls recently moved from the Bay Area to Miami, said Jake Shields, Lee’s pal and a mixed martial arts champion.
“[He] did comment on San Francisco deteriorating, which is why he actually had relocated to Miami,” Shields told NewsNation in an interview. “So I’m not sure why he’s going back there to get a little business back in San Francisco for a couple of days.”
Lee had just sold his Mill Valley, Calif., home in July for $4.43 million, according to records viewed by The Post.
Video footage obtained by the Daily Mail showed a disoriented Lee approaching a car in what seemed to be an attempt to get help.
When the vehicle drives off, Lee staggers to the Portside apartment building at 403 Main St.
On Tuesday morning, Bob Lee lay dying on a residential street in San Francisco, having been stabbed repeatedly. @boblee/TwitterLee, who was clutching his cellphone in one hand, attempted to dial the building intercom before collapsing on the ground, the CCTV footage showed.
“We are not commenting on evidence nor will we speculate on the circumstances surrounding this horrific crime,” said San Francisco Police spokesman Sgt. Adam Lobsinger in a video statement on Thursday.
“Although we will commit the necessary resources and personnel to this investigation, we want to assure everyone in San Francisco the Department is staffed and ready to respond to all calls for service.”
Workers clean the sidewalk where the Cash App founder was bleeding out after being stabbed outside 403 Main St. in San Francisco. David G. McIntyreLee’s death has caused an uproar over the city’s soft-on-crime policies.
In the past three years, violent crime increased 7.5% and property crime was up by 20.1%, according to police statistics.
San Francisco Supervisor Matt Dorsey, who represents the Southern District where Lee was stabbed to death, pleaded to residents to turn in any information that could help the investigation.
“This is a senseless tragedy that I know is made worse by the fact that no suspect is yet in custody,” Dorsey said in his Tweet. “I’ve also heard from many constituents in the area—some of whom have already voiced concerns to me about public safety challenges— and I’m asking everyone to cooperate with police in their investigation, especially those with access to surveillance video that may help.”
