According to Bloomberg, news of his death was followed by an “outbreak of sadness” from the tech community. “Bob was a dynamo, a force of nature,” Goldbard said in a statement to CNN. “Bob was the real article.”

In a press release, the San Francisco Police Department said officers were called to the 300 block of Main Street around 2:30 a.m. When officers arrived, they found Lee with obvious stab wounds.

Lee was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries but later died, police said.

Lee was a veteran technology executive and software engineer from Silicon Valley who helped develop Android for Google earlier in his career. He was Square’s first chief technology officer, which was co-founded by Jack Dorsey, who later founded Twitter. Square launched the money transfer app CashApp in 2013. The app also allows users to trade bitcoin.

In 2021, Lee joined MobileCoin, a cryptocurrency and digital payments app, as chief product officer, according to CNN.

“Bob was made for the new world,” he told Bloomberg. “He was the quintessential creator, leader, and consummate hacker. Bob certainly had an impact that will last well beyond his short life on Earth,” Goldberg said.

No arrests were made.

ROCK HILL, SC — An HVAC technician was killed on April 7 by former NFL player Phillip Adams and months later, his family has sued Adams’ estate for wrongful death.

Robert Shook, 38, of Cherryville, North Carolina, was working at the home of Robert and Barbara Lesslie when Adams shot him several times. Officials said Shook was flown to the hospital in critical condition, where he died three days later.

Shook was one of six people, including the Lesslies, who was shot and killed by Adams before he turned the gun on himself.

In August, Shook’s widow and mother to their three children, Holly Shook, filed a wrongful death suit against Adams’s estate. She asked for a jury trial and for punitive damages from Adams’ estate.

On Tuesday, an autopsy revealed unusually severe brain disease in Adams’ frontal lobe. The 20 years he spent playing football “definitely … gave rise” to a diagnosis of stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, according to Dr. Ann McKee, who examined his brain.

The lawsuit can be read in its entirety here.
