The man police arrested Thursday in the murder of tech leader Bob Lee was 38-year-old Nima Momeni, who ran an IT consultancy and lived in Emeryville, California, a small city east of San Francisco.
One person who knew Momeni was shocked to hear that he was suspected in the killing that shook San Francisco last week, and that prompted an outpouring of grief in the tech community and anger over crime in the city.
