The San Francisco Police Department has arrested a suspect in the murder of tech executive Bob Lee.
There was big news.
The mayor, the DA, and the chief of police held a joint press conference.
Who?
San Francisco police arrested 38-year-old Nima Momini.
I did not know the name.
I had never heard of him before.
They showed pictures of him.
I looked him up.
I had no idea who this person was.
Here's Police Chief Bill Scott.
Scott starts by emphasizing that the two men knew each other, which is most often the case when it comes to violence.
It's usually not a random act on the street.
Then the new DA, Brooke Jenkins, speaks.
And somewhat surprisingly, she turns her attention to Twitter.
She calls out Elon Musk.
So, after nine days of speculation, Nima Momeni was arrested.
He wasn't, as some had suspected, a, quote, psychotic homeless person.
He was an IT guy who lived in a fancy loft just across the bridge from San Francisco.
Him being out on the street that night in April had nothing to do with decarceration politics or lenient city officials.
