A San Francisco jury has convicted a tech entrepreneur on charges of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Bob Lee, the founder of mobile payment service Cash App.
Nima Momeni, 40, faces a sentence of 15 years to life in prison for the killing.
Mr Lee, 43, was killed in the early morning hours of 4 April 2023.
Police found him unconscious in the Rincon Hill neighbourhood with two stab wounds to his chest. He died later in hospital.
Momeni was found not guilty of the more serious charge of first-degree murder, which denotes a pre-meditated killing.
Jurors deliberated for seven days before announcing they had reached a verdict.
Following the conviction, Mr Lee’s brother Oliver Lee said his family was “happy with the result”.
“We’re happy that Nima Momeni won’t be on the streets, no longer has the opportunity to harm anyone else in this world,” he said.
