“We would like to express our deepest condolences to the family, friends and loved ones of Mr. Lee. There is no place for this kind of violent crime against anyone in our city,” San Francisco Police Public Information Officer Adam Lobsinger said in a video update Thursday.

Lee moved out of San Francisco to Miami last fall because of safety concerns and was recently on a trip to San Francisco.
Prior to leaving Silicon Valley, Lee addressed the increasing rise in hate crime against Asians.
“We need to make examples of the perpetrators: prosecute them as hate crimes to the full extent of the law,” he tweeted.
People with information on Lee’s death are being asked to call San Francisco’s tip line at 1-415-575-4444.
