While discussing the arrest in the killing of tech executive Bob Lee, San Francisco’s district attorney took aim at Elon Musk, calling out the Twitter CEO for his comments about crime in the city following the deadly stabbing.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed, police Chief Bill Scott and District Attorney Brooke Jenkins on Thursday announced during a briefing that 38-year-old Nima Momeni, a resident of Emeryville, had been arrested in connection with Lee's killing. Scott said Lee and Momeni knew each other."Mr. Lee was murdered by somebody that he knew," Jenkins said.
When asked about perceptions of crime in San Francisco, Scott said the case is"more about human nature and human behavior than it is about our city" because Lee and Momeni knew each other. "Just put it in any other city," he said."I don't believe it would have changed the circumstances one bit. This is not about San Francisco. It happened in San Francisco and that is unfortunate. It's even more of a tragedy that it happened at all, but this speaks to more about human nature. Facts show and research shows that most people who commit homicides know the people that they kill. The research shows that. I do understand how people see and view things.
