Surveillance footage acquired by the San Francisco Standard shows that before he died, MobileCoin’s chief product officer, 43, approached a parked automobile with its hazard flashers on in an apparent attempt to signal for assistance.
After the automobile drove away, video surveillance showed Lee lifting his shirt to reveal two stab wounds. He then dropped to the ground.
Lee was left abandoned by the driver and stumbled to an adjacent apartment building, where he collapsed at the front door, as shown in CCTV footage released by the Daily Mail.
As the dying father collapsed in the lobby, no one was there to help him because the front desk was unoccupied.
When a car drove up in front of the building, the bleeding tech tycoon scrambled to his hands and knees and fumbled with his phone until help arrived.
Lee sprang to his feet and lifted one arm in an attempt to wave down the car, but the driver continued on his way.
Lee, bloodied and pallid, exits the frame, his bloody footprints leaving a trail of red on the sidewalk.
Lee made a desperate 911 call at 2:34 a.m., telling dispatchers that he had been stabbed and urgently required medical attention.
Lee was unconscious with two stab wounds to the chest when police arrived less than six minutes later.
His death occurred despite emergency transport to San Francisco General Hospital. As of Thursday morning, police had not made any arrests or identified any suspects in the incident.
The Standard reports that a trail of blood led from the building where Lee fainted after the deadly stabbing in the affluent Rincon Hill neighborhood in former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s district.
The police have not yet commented on whether or not the stabbing was random.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott stated on Wednesday during a Police Commission meeting that he had “nothing to report yet.”
Lee, a longtime Bay Area resident, and father of two, returned to Miami lately, according to a friend of his, Jake Shields.
Lee was walking when he was attacked, as evidenced by his shields.
