Bob Lee was stabbed in San Francisco and proceeded to ask for help before collapsing and passing away, according to the leaked call.

New footage and audio surfaced from the murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee. He passed away after being stabbed in San Francisco. Moreover, the 911 call that leaked online following his tragic passing detailed the moments right before he collapsed. "There’s a male screaming ‘help,’ saying ‘someone stabbed me,’” a dispatcher narrates in the clip. “Advised he is bleeding out. He’s outside on the street." Moreover, video footage obtained by Daily Mail shows Lee approaching a vehicle, presumably asking for help. After the car sped off, he went to the Portside apartment building at 403 Main St.

CCTV footage showed the 43-year-old holding his phone in one hand and trying to dial the building intercom with his other. Furthermore, said attack occurred around 2:35 a.m. in the city's Rincon Hill neighborhood according to local officials. No suspects were announced by police, so no arrests have been made, either. "[He] did comment on San Francisco deteriorating, which is why he actually had relocated to Miami,” friend Jake Shields revealed to NewsNation during 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."

New Details Emerge Surrounding Stabbing Of Cash App Founder Bob Lee

"We are not commenting on evidence nor will we speculate on the circumstances surrounding this horrific crime,” San Francisco Police spokesman Sgt. Adam Lobsinger stated via video on Thursday (April 6). “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."

However, this crime caused invoked much criticism of the city's perceived soft-on-crime policies. "This is a senseless tragedy that I know is made worse by the fact that no suspect is yet in custody,” San Francisco Supervisor Matt Dorsey tweeted. He represents the district in which the perpetrators attacked Lee. “I’ve also heard from many constituents in the area. Some of whom already voiced concerns to me about public safety challenges. I’m asking everyone to cooperate with police in their investigation, especially those with access to surveillance video that may help." Come back to HNHH for more big updates on this story.
