Cash Appfounder Bob Lee's accused killer Nima Momen appears in court as new ... trends now
Cash App founder Bob Lee's accused killer appeared in court on Wednesday for the scheduling of a preliminary hearing to decide whether the case will go to trial.
Prosecutors released nine new surveillance images they say show suspected killer Nima Momeni, 38, and Lee together shortly before the tech titan was stabbed to death in San Francisco last month.
One of the images shows Lee, 42, at 12:39am in the lobby of the Millennium Tower, where Momeni's 37-year-old sister Khazar Elyassnia, lives. Lee and Elyassnia had reportedly been partying together the night of his murder.
A second image shows Lee and Momemi inside an elevator in the building about an hour and a half later, and a third depicts the pair exiting the elevator in the tower's garage and walking to a white BMW convertible.
Lee and Momeni are then seen getting into the car in a fourth surveillance image.
In the next surveillance image released by prosecutors, Lee appears alone walking up main street, near where police say the murder happened.
The final image shows Lee near a vehicle he had reportedly tried to flag down before he collapsed.

Security video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com previously showed a bloodied and dazed Lee staggering along Main Street and stumbling towards an apartment before falling backwards as he tried to hit the electronic intercom.
During Wednesday's court appearance, Momemi disagreed with his own attorney Paula Canny about the date for his preliminary hearing, with the suspect wanting the earliest possible date, as reported by NBC Bay Area journalist Sergio Quintana.
Prosecutors are expected to release new details of their investigation during the preliminary hearing, set for May 30, when a judge will decide if there is enough evidence for the murder case to go to trial.
Momemi's lawyer revealed in court last week that he is not a U.S. citizen and was at risk of being deported back to Iran.
Lee's stabbing death on April 4 was originally thought to have been the result of random violence in the crime-ridden city of San Francisco.
