Police have announced that an arrest has been made over the murder of Cash App founder, Bob Lee.

Lee - who was the former chief technology officer of Square which helped launch Cash App - was stabbed to death in San Franciso last week (4 April) and according to local reports, officers were dispatched to the city in California today (13 April) with a warrant for the arrest of a suspect.

Bob Lee purportedly knew the man who stabbed him to death.

The statement reads: "Officers arrived on scene and located the victim, later identified as 43-year-old Robert Lee, suffering from apparent stab wounds.

"Officers rendered aid and summoned medics to the scene. The victim was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries."

The official statement concluded: "Despite efforts by first responders and medical personnel, the victim succumbed to his injuries."

Speaking about Lee, Josh Goldbard, the CEO MobileCoin, previously told CNN: “Bob was a dynamo, a force of nature. Bob was the genuine article. He was made for the world that is being born right now, he was a child of dreams, and whatever he imagined, no matter how crazy, he made real.”
