Beijing, April 6 (Xinhua)-- Silicon Valley technology executives expressed their heartfelt condolences and shock over the assassination of Cash App developer Bob Lee on social media on Wednesday.

▲ Bob Lee (Bob Lee) Lee is a former chief technology officer of Square, an American mobile payments company. He was stabbed to death in San Francisco on Tuesday morning local time, according to local media reports. The police have not identified the suspect or announced the arrest of anyone.

Rick Lee, Li's father, said on Facebook that his son moved to Miami with him last year.

"Bob will do his best to help you." Rick Lee wrote, "he never looks down on anyone and adheres to a strict philosophy of non-judgment. Bob works harder than anyone. He is the smartest person I know. Everyone who knows him will miss him."

"I'm lucky to grow up with him. I feel like I've lost part of myself," Tim Oliver Lee, Li's brother, said on Facebook.

Jack Dorsey, chief executive of Block, a US mobile payments company and co-founder of Twitter, called Li's death "heartbreaking".

"it's true." "Bob played an important role in the development of Square and Cash App," Dorsey wrote on social networking platform Nostr.

In 2010, Lee joined Jack Dorsey's financial technology company Square as the company's first chief technology officer. In the meantime, he created Cash App, a mobile payment platform. In 2021, he became chief product officer of MobileCoin, another financial technology company that uses end-to-end encryption.

Joshua Goldbard, chief executive of MobileCoin, said Li was "a natural force" and called him a "typical creator, leader and perfect hacker" in a statement.

"he helped our world create Android and Cash App," Goldbard said. Moby is his dream: a wallet to protect privacy in the 21st century. I miss him every day. "

Tommy Sowers, president of Fly Exclusive, one of the US private jet charter providers, shared his photos with Li.

"over the past 14 years, Bob has taught me about his love of construction technology and unlocked his beloved city of San Francisco." Sawers said on LinkedIn. "We share the adventures of roaming in Yucatan and Italy, as well as our love for each other's families and our good time together."

Garry Tan, CEO of YCombinator, a famous start-up incubator in the United States, called Li's death a "huge loss for the technology community and San Francisco."

"We have to remember his life and work," Tan said on Twitter. "We know very little about the situation, and it's too early to speculate about what happened. The area is full of cameras, so we'll know the truth soon."

The death of Lee, a security issue in San Francisco, has once again raised concerns among some technology leaders and others in the industry about San Francisco's security.

Brooke Brooke Jenkins, the San Francisco district attorney, tweeted condolences to Li's family on Wednesday and said no one had been arrested. "We cannot tolerate these terrible acts of violence in San Francisco."

Randy Kozada, communications director of the San Francisco district attorney's office, told the media that the San Francisco police department must complete the investigation before the district attorney's office intervenes.

"the police need to talk to witnesses, collect evidence, submit it to us, and then our office will really step in to assess the evidence and decide whether to prosecute or not," Kozada said. "

"this investigation is very different," he said. "We were all on standby until someone was arrested."

Elon Musk also commented on the tragedy on Twitter.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Many people I know have been seriously assaulted." "violent crimes in San Francisco are terrible, and even if the attackers are arrested, they are usually released immediately," he added. " He also questioned whether San Francisco had taken stronger measures to prevent violent crime.

Former integrated combat athlete Jack Shields was one of the first to comment on Li's death on social media and has been calling for justice for the former executive.
