    The stabbing death of prominent tech executive Bob Lee has sparked a wave
    of criticism about crime in San Francisco, with some people even going so
    far as to blame city leaders for his death, though details of what
    transpired and whether the attack was random currently remain unknown.

    Outspoken Twitter and Tesla boss Elon Musk was among the prominent figures weighing into the debate, tweeting he knows many people who have been
    severely assaulted and describing violent crime in the city as horrific.

    The latest SFPD data shows a 6% jump in violent crime in the city for the
    year to date, the equivalent of 75 more violent crimes compared with the
    same period last year. There were 12 homicides in San Francisco this year
    as of April 2, compared with 10 in the same year-to-date period in 2022.

    Alan Alden, who works in finance out of Palo Alto, blamed policies from
    Mayor London Breed and the Board of Supervisors as contributors to issues
    that led to Lee’s death.


    Much of the criticism came from tech industry executives, who slammed city leaders on social media for creating unsafe streets that led to Lee’s
    death.

    The founder of MobileCoin, where Lee served as chief product officer, said
    in a tweet early Wednesday that “something isn’t working” in San
    Francisco, but was not more specific.


    Others were more targeted in their criticism, with Palo Alto tech venture capitalist Matt Ocko blaming former District Attorney Chesa Boudin and an allegedly “criminal-loving” Board of Supervisors who he said “enabled” a “lawless SF.” Boudin was recalled in June 2022.


    Douglas Karr, who runs a Ohio-based tech consulting firm called
    Highbridge, said that San Francisco “has abandoned enforcement and forces
    its citizens to be defenseless.”


    Peter Kazanjy, co-founder of San Francisco-based software company Atrium, suggested there would be a reckoning with public safety political
    discourse as a result of Lee’s death. The city is already struggling to
    attract business amid an exodus of tech companies and other firms in wake
    of the Covid pandemic and large transition to remote work.


    Supervisor Matt Dorsey, a former police communications executive who
    represents the area Lee was killed in, took to Twitter to voice concern
    about the events.

    "I’ve also heard from many constituents in the area—some of whom have
    already voiced concerns to me about public safety challenges—and I’m
    asking everyone to cooperate with police in their investigation,
    especially those with access to surveillance video that may help," said
    Dorsey on Twitter.


    Lee, the former chief technology officer of Square, was identified as the 43-year-old man stabbed to death in Downtown San Francisco early Tuesday morning.

    The San Francisco Police Department said officers responded to reports of
    a stabbing on Main Street near Harrison Street at approximately 2:35 a.m. Officers found a man suffering from apparent stab wounds. The man was transported to a local hospital where he died.
