Cash App founder Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed on the streets of San Francisco, had cocaine, ketamine, and other substances in his system when he was killed, his autopsy has revealed.

Technology chief Bob Lee, 43, was stabbed twice on April 4 in a brutal killing and a new report confirms he passed away from his multiple wounds, the San Francisco Medical Examiner said yesterday.

In an autopsy report seen by the NY Post, the software engineer had cocaine, ketamine, and cocaethylene, a substance produced by the dual consumption of alcohol and cocaine, in his system when he died.

There were also traces of the antihistamine levocetirizine, a medicine used to treat allergies, in his blood.

The IT consultant is a knife hoarder and "super into weapons", it has been claimed, who reportedly, targeted Lee over a row about his sister, Khazar Elyassnia, who is married to a plastic surgeon.

It's thought he visited the dealer's apartment with the sister of the man accused of his murder, 38-year-old Nima Momeni, the night of his death.

Momeni had questioned Mr Lee with regards to his sister, Khazar Momeni, asking if she had been doing "anything inappropriate" or any drugs, according to prosecutors.

According to police, the pair were reportedly seen in a car together at around 2.30am on the night he died. But just minutes later, officers were called to Main Street in the city where they found the tech mogul bleeding out.

In distressing footage, he stumbles through the streets and is seen on the phone to 911 when a bystander saw him and drove off - despite the dad pleading with the driver for help.

He begged the driver: "Help. Someone stabbed me.”

Mr Lee fell to the ground before emergency services arrived to the scene where they found him bleeding.

The dad was rushed to hospital but tragically died from his wounds later that morning.

Who is Nina Momeni?

The 38-year-old is a graduate of University of California and the owner of information technology consulting company Expand IT, which he started in April 2010.

He had previously worked as a consultant and systems engineer with multiple San Francisco-based companies, including Marfic and Coast Range Technologies.

The suspect lives in the Bay Area city of Emeryville, California.

He was previously charged in Alameda County for allegedly selling a switchblade in California and for driving with a suspended licence.

Mr Momeni was also caught drink driving in 2004.

The tech chief pleaded no contest to the suspended licence charge the following year and the knife charge was dropped.

He was sentenced to 10 days in jail as well as three years of probation, fined $900 (£700) and ordered to destroy the knife.

One neighbour told the Daily Beast he was reportedly “super into weapons” and had a collection at home.
