Lee.
- Police said Lee and Momeni knew each other. They did not provide a possible motive behind the crime or other details.

by Mission Local claims the men were riding together in a vehicle
registered to Momeni when a "confrontation" escalated to a stabbing.

- The
43-year-old was stabbed in the early morning of April 4 in San
Francisco's Rincon Hill neighborhood and later died from his injuries.
