(CNN) — The man accused of fatally stabbing the tech executive Bob Lee last month pleaded not guilty to murder in a San Francisco court Thursday.Nima Momeni will be held in custody without bail, the judge said.Lee, a 43-year-old who cofounded the mobile payment service provider Cash App, was stabbed to death in the Rincon Hill neighborhood in the predawn hours of April 4. An autopsy report shows he suffered knife wounds that pierced his heart and lung.Authorities have said Lee and Momeni knew each other and were in a white BMW shortly before the stabbing at about 2 a.m. The prosecution’s case relies heavily on grainy security video of what they say was the fatal stabbing, and the district attorney’s office has indicated the stabbing may have been premeditated.“This is a person who was in his vehicle with a kitchen knife,” San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said of the suspect earlier this month. “That’s not something most of us carry around at all times with us.”However,...
