 According to his family and the police, Bob Lee, a technology professional who established the mobile payment business Cash App and formerly worked at Square, passed away on Tuesday after being stabbed close to downtown San Francisco.

Around 2:35 a.m. on Tuesday, according to San Francisco police, officers responded to a report of a stabbing. The police discovered Robert Lee, 43, who appeared to have been stabbed. 



Police added that after being transferred to a hospital, he passed away from his wounds.

"Bobby was the sharpest guy I've ever known and worked harder than anyone. All of those who knew him will miss him, his father Richard Lee wrote on Facebook beside a news report about the attack.

Thank you to everyone who offered their assistance.According to Richard Lee's article, the father and son relocated from California to Miami in Octobe.

As Bob Lee's mother passed away in 2019, their bond had gotten even closer. Why Lee had returned to the Bay Area was not immediately apparent.

Tim Oliver Lee posted on Facebook that he was "very saddened and disillusioned" to have lost his sibling. "He was actually the best among us.He was my childhood best friend, and I feel like a part of me has been lost."

Bob Lee "passed away yesterday," according to Joshua Goldbard, founder and CEO of MobileCoin, in a statement released on Wednesday. Goldbard also lauded Lee's business savvy. He did not say how Lee passed away.

"Bob was a powerhouse, a natural force. Bob was the real deal, according to Goldbard. He was created for the world that is currently in development. He had big dreams as a child and brought to life anything he could have only imagined.

Goldbard lauded Lee as a "brilliant" thinker with a "kaleidoscopic" intellect in a Twitter conversation, saying that Lee was "like a brother to me."

The World Health Organization said in a statement that "Bob constructed a substantial chunk of the server for the WHO Covid-19 App," confirming to NBC News on Wednesday that Lee contributed his "help and knowledge" during the outbreak.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Lee also invested in other Internet companies, including the social audio app Clubhouse and Elon Musk's SpaceX business. He had "crazybob" as his Twitter and LinkedIn usernames.

The police chief, Scott, sent his sympathies to Lee's friends and family on Wednesday evening.In the statement, Scott stressed that there was "no place in our city for this kind of horrific crime against anyone." 

"I want to reassure everyone that, like we attempt to do in every tragedy that occurs in our city, our investigators are working nonstop to make an arrest and deliver justice to Mr. Lee and his loved ones.

WrestleMania 2023 : schedule ,Time and lot more

Arriving in Los Angeles is the biggest sporting extravaganza. Over the weekend, WWE WrestleMania 39 takes place with a star-studded lineup that includes some of the most popular storylines in professional wrestling. The main event of WrestleMania 39 is one of the most eagerly anticipated matches in recent memory. As the weekend comes to a close, dominant, record-breaking champion Roman Reigns defends the uncontested WWE championship against Cody Rhodes. Before we get there, a Saturday night neighbouring feud with an equal amount of juice occurs. Undisputed champions The Usos will face Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in an epic tag team championship fight. After becoming a "Honorary Uce" while betraying Owens, Zayn had been entangled in The Bloodline tale for months, until circumstances changed. On Saturday, John Cena takes a brief break from his hectic Hollywood schedule to take on the US champion Austin Theory, but Cena is far from the only retired star to walk foot on the card.

WrestleMania 39 results : Sami Zayn and The Night 1 Winners, Losers

Night 1 of WWE WrestleMania 39 will be a hard act to follow. It would have battled with all-time greats like WrestleMania 17, 19, 30, and 31 as one of the best if tonight had been a one-night WrestleMania. Night 2 has the potential to further its already illustrious legacy, and I absolutely anticipate it will. But, after a first night that maintained pace with what has been a highly successful Triple H Era, WWE would effectively be playing with house money on Sunday night. Austin Theory defeated John Cena to begin WrestleMania with the biggest victory of his career, but it is unclear if this represents the pinnacle of his abilities.  After John Cena's stinging promo against him on the WWE Raw programme on March 6, 2023, Theory almost had to win.
