Bob Lee, the founder of Cash App and former chief technology officer of Square, was stabbed to death. KPIX reports that the tech executive was stabbed early Tuesday morning near downtown San Francisco.

Officers responded to a stabbing report in the 300 block of Main Street in the city’s Rincon Hill neighborhood at about 2:35 a.m. and found the victim, who was taken to a hospital and died there.

The victim had not yet been identified by the city’s medical examiner’s office as of Tuesday evening, but friends of Lee told KPIX he was the victim.

Lee, 43, was the Chief Product Officer of MobileCoin, a cryptocurrency startup based in San Francisco.

A flood of messages eulogizing Lee were posted on Twitter Tuesday evening, many of which included his @crazybob Twitter handle.

There has been no arrest in the case, and San Francisco police have not released any suspect information.

Anyone with information about the fatal stabbing was asked to contact the police tip line.
