Bob Lee

Bob Lee died in the middle of the night after being repeatedly stabbed in a deserted area of San Franciscos downtown, in what the citys district attorney called a senseless act of violence. He staggered out of the car and was seen on security camera footage struggling to get around nearby following the attack.
