Nima Momeni, who was taken into custody during a search in nearby Emeryville, is suspected of stabbing Lee, 43, multiple times with a knife that was recovered near the scene, independent news site Mission Local reported, citing police sources.
A 38-year-old man by the same name was booked into the county jail after 9 a.m. local time Thursday on suspicion of murder, records show. Neither a court date nor an attorney for Momeni is listed.
The San Francisco Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for further information.
Lee is believed to have known Momeni, who according to a LinkedIn profile of someone with that name is the owner of an Emeryville-based technology company. The two men reportedly were driving in downtown San Francisco in Momeni’s car when an alleged confrontation led to Lee’s April 4 stabbing.
Momeni owns a technology company called Expand IT, according to Mission Local. Momeni has owned the firm since 2010, according to the LinkedIn profile. Attempts to reach a representative of Expand IT were not immediately successful.
