Cash App founder Bob Lee could be heard pleading for help in a 911 call after he was fatally stabbed in San Francisco early on Tuesday morning.

In audio from a police scanner obtained by NBC Bay Area, a dispatcher tells responding officers: “There’s a male screaming ‘help,’ saying, ‘someone stabbed me’.”

The police dispatcher then adds: “Advised he is bleeding out.”

Police arrived six minutes later at 2.40am to find Lee suffering from two stab wounds to the chest outside a luxury residential building on Main St in Rincon Hill.

The 45-year-old was rushed to San Francisco General Hospital where he died soon after.

Five days on from the high-profile killing, San Francisco police say it is still too soon to determine whether the stabbing was a random

attack.

The San Francisco police chief William Scott told CBS News that his officers were continuing to chase promising leads in an interview on Thursday.

“We have a lot on our plate with this investigation and following up things that need to be followed up on,” he said.

The case has sparked fresh outrage over crime in the city, with friends revealing that Lee had recently relocated to Miami due to safety fears.
