Nima Momeni sentenced to 16 years to life for killing Cash App founder Bob Lee
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The man convicted of killing Cash App founder Bob Lee was sentenced Tuesday, marking a new development in a case that has been closely followed for the past three years.
A judge sentenced Nima Momeni to 16 years to life in prison without probation.
Nearly two years ago, a jury found Momeni guilty of second-degree murder in the 2023 stabbing death of Lee.

Police said Momeni and Lee knew each other and had argued over Momeni's sister before the killing.
Earlier this week, Momeni's attorneys sought a new trial, but that request was denied.
The sentencing concludes the latest chapter in the high-profile case surrounding Lee's death.
