tops of the day, this homeless encampment. they offered folks food and water and told him about their work. >> we operate under 911 now. if anyone contacts police for you guys instead the safety and welcome. reporter: today was the ribbon-cutting for the new mobile crisis response program. the idea is, instead of police responding to low-level calls related to mental illness or homelessness, now the safed team will -- safe team to integrate safety into the department. >> traditionally first responders have been police, fire, and medical. maybe we were missing something there. we are hoping the safed team -- safe team can intervene on those types of calls. reporter: an example is this incident last year where a police officer picked up a man who was dealing with a mental health crisis and brought him to a neighborhood in san francisco.

police say with the safe team, the response would have been different. >> we would call the immediately and they would connect the safety mobile with the resources needed and transport him to the places he needed to go. and free of the resources for police officers to do other things and handle more priority calls. reporter: the team will work in partnership with police. we saw firsthand how that would work this morning when the team responded to a mental health call at city hall. but the situation escalated and probably stepped into intervene. >> it became evident that this particular subject at this particular time was going to need a higher level of intervention. reporter: but not all calls rise to that level and that is where the safe team is hoping to help. >> thank you for opening up your area to us. kristen: now, of the murder of a tech executive in san francisco. flowers now mark the spot where tech executive bob lee was

killed at 2:30 a.m. yesterday morning. the 43-year-old was the cto of square in the creator of cashapp. we have team coverage today. larry: we start our coverage with stephanie sierra live in the newsroom with the latest on the investigation. reporter: several sources confirm surveillance footage shows bob lee was walking down main street in san francisco's rink on hill area after the attack. he was looking for help before he fell to the ground on the sidewalk. we don't know what exactly led up to the stabbing. but we are told lee was in town this week on business. that was just after 2:30 a.m. tuesday morning. sources told the surveillance footage shows bob lee, a high-profile tech executive, walking down the empty block of main street in san francisco's rink on hill neighborhood with apparent stab wounds in his upper left

chest. he was looking for help and stumbled in front of portside, in nearby apartment building nestled under the bay bridge. a reporter with our media partner, the san francisco standard, has seen the video. >> the video that i viewed shows bob lee for someone looking like bob lee walking from the main bridge towards harrison and that harrison -- at harrison he seems to lift his shirt up as he approaches a car that is stopped in the corner with its flashers on. the car then drives away. he falls to the ground. he gets up again and walks back on main the way they can but on the other side of the street and falls down. the blood that i saw at the scene also tracks what that video seemed to show. reporter: lee received cpr six minutes after emergency crews were dispatched. >> i'm just overwhelmed,

to hear today's news. it's just incredibly tragic. reporter: george sybil was lee'n mission bay. >> we were next-door neighbors for three years and got closer and we spent a lot of time together. reporter: he knew lee during his time as square's chief technology officer and when he founded cashapp, paving the way to transfer money without fees instantly. >> without him there would be no cashapp. he touched so many lives. reporter: lee, a longtime member of the silicon valley software development community, had recently moved to miami. >> it was a great guy. he's no talk about himself. reporter: a current american mma fighter was traveling to go see lee in miami this week. >> i was flying to miami tomorrow, we had plans to meet there. it is weird that we were supposed to hang out tomorrow night. it is a little strange. it just happens on my mind is

still processing it, you know? this is not expected. reporter: close friends describe lee as an incredibly generous person and the proud father of two daughters. >> he was charismatic, brilliant, he was a thinker, he was a doer. his dedication to his kids was first and foremost -- bob was father of the year. bob was also a patriot. he loved his country. >> bob was a great man. reporter: investigators are asking anyone who parked in the rincon hill anywhere in this area near main street that may have dashcam or parked car video, sfpd. stephanie sierra, abc7 news. kristen: thank you so much. bob lee was the founder of cashapp and the current chief product officer of mobile coin, and cryptocurrency startup. before that he was the chief technology officer of square.

the payment company that was renamed block in 2021. he was also a software engineer at google. he was also an investor in several companies including spacex. larry: reaction from city officials. the san francisco mayor said police are actively investigating what happened, adding san francisco's prioritizing public safety, including recently passing our budget so we have the police staffing necessary to have more police officers in our neighborhoods and investigate violent crimes when they do occur. district attorney brooke jenkins wrote, we do not tolerate these horrific acts of violence in san francisco. many tech industry executives have taken to social media to say that violent crime in san francisco his now horrific and the streets in their view are unsafe. is there any truth to that? this is the proof right here. we have the numbers. part of it is looking at the issues like crime. we have created the neighborhood safety tracker to help you know what is happening in your

neighborhood. leanne melendez is here now with facts about violent crime in the city. reporter: we get it, when someone you know or is recognized in your neighborhood or industry is killed, it really hits close to home. it is still our obligation to be impartial and sdispell the narrative being put out there about crime in san francisco. tech executive bob lee uphill sn francisco neighborhood, home to many young professionals. according to the latest census, the median household income there is more than $244,000. lee's murder is the first reported homicide this year to take place within the southern station of the police department. neighborhoods like the tenderloin and the babe you have had more homicides so far this year. yet that seems to go unnoticed among many san franciscans. but that one statistic in rincon

hill has so much of the tech industry talking and posting about. the tesla ceo, elon musk, posting, violent crime in sf is horrific. many more executives criticized the mayor and city officials for creating, in their words, unsafe streets. congratulations, your policies have claimed another life. but is san francisco really as dangerous as these tech executives claim? not according to the latest 2021 fbi and local police crime data, as compiled in abc7's neighborhood safety tracker. san francisco is close to the bottom of the list of major cities with 6.9 homicides per 100,000 people. austin, los angeles, miami, washington, houston, minneapolis, oakland, chicago, atlanta, milwaukee, philadelphia, detroit, and st. louis had more reported homicides than san francisco.

supervisor matt dorsey represents the district where lee was murdered. >> this is not a city where anybody should fear for their lives at 2:30 a.m. reporter: the crime trends for the year as of april 2, 2023 have 12 homicides compared to 10 for the same period last year. the number of reported assault cases is up by 2%. robberies are up by 14%. but rape and crimes are significantly down. >> stats don't matter when it is somebody you love who has lost their life in an incident in san francisco. reporter: not right there puts everything in perspective. san francisco has problems, like many cities, but these numbers we just showed you -- this factual information does not fit the narrative that some people are putting out there on social media. with that said, i want to echo what supervisor dorsey said, the

statistics are not comforting to the families of any -- any of the victims, where there -- whether they live in rincon hill or in the tenderloin. people are saying, but i just don't feel safe here in san francisco like i did 10 years ago. i've been here for 29 years -- moved here 29 years ago from new york city. i feel super safe in new york city. do i feel safe now? not as much as i did when i moved here. so i think it is a perception. but what we give you today were numbers -- gave you today were numbers. larry: i have to make the distinction, it seems like we have a lot of crime, like smash and grabs, it is a crime, not violent crime, but it feels like the overall total is greater than it ever was, even though the violent crime numbers may be down. reporter: sure, especially if it affects your neighborhood or somebody you know. larry: thank you. kristen: you can use the abc7

prosperity by entering the use of the space stays as a hotel use. reporter: the owner is accepting bids to sell the 264 room southern tower of the hotel. while the northern tower of the building would remain, these members of the community argue it would lead to the loss of transient occupancy tax money that goes to the arts community, and the emulation of hundreds of hotel jobs. >> my colleagues and i have weathered the storm of the pandemic. if the 206 to four rooms of the south tower are eliminated, we will eliminate the ability to return to work. reporter: omar torrez who represents downtown once the city to review potential impacts before the sale. besides the tax dollars and job loss, he's worried about what economic impacts eliminating hotel rooms would create as well. >> historically the city has never had a good ratio of hotel rooms for convention center use. the fact of the matter is,

if these hotel rooms go, more folks are going to be less interested in having a large convention here in the city of san jose. reporter: he says that would hurt the mayor's plan for downtown vibrancy. but the ceo of the downtown association says while losing hotel rooms is sad, getting housing could actually be better for downtown potentially luring in more businesses. >> eventually reaching critical mass and eventually important interested retailers will be interested in coming to downtown because critical mass has been reached. i am thrilled with every similar additional housing unit we can bring into downtown. reporter: the sale of the tower remains ongoing and no deal has been made as of now. dustin dorsey, abc7 news. kristen: i will soon be a protected bikeway running down the middle of one of san francisco's most dangerous streets, on valencia street between 15th and 23rd. the municipal transportation agency board unanimously approved the plan yesterday. once installed, drivers will be prohibited from turning across

rise to the level of a felony because the payments were allegedly part of an effort to conceal another crime. but the da didn't specify what the other crime was. >> facts laid out could be a compelling argument. but before they even got there they will have to overcome the legal issues. question one, what is the crime prosecutors are alleging escalated this from a misdemeanor to a felony? >> a state prosecutor is prosecuting a federal crime that doesn't exist according to officials. reporter: the da requested a protective siding significant concern over trump's social media attacks against the das office. the order was not issued. but the judge warned all parties to refrain from making comments that could incite violence or jeopardize the safety of the individuals. hours later, trump continued his verbal attacks on the judge himself. >> i have a trump aide and judge -- trump hating judge with a

people re-prioritized what is important to them. which in some ways is healthy and a great thing but most of all of us and certainly younger folks who do not feel like they are fully engaged in work, they need to be engaged in work at this point in their lives. you need money to survive and plan for your later years. you have to tread carefully there. >> it is kind of sad because the younger workers don't spend as much time investing themselves and energy on hopes in the jobs they have as we have who have been working longer. it is a sad thing. larry: i would say that there's a lot of people disengaged in all age categories and all groups. you probably heard the pitch -- you should make your bed first thing in the morning. researchers say they you more productive, even sleep better. then there's other researchers who say, no, you should wait a

minute or maybe even an hour before you make your bed. making the bed immediately may actually cause dust mites to thrive. waiting an hour can reduce moisture and reduce the dust mites. now i am totally confused. i'm going to go back and not make it. kristen: it is the justification i needed. there's nothing i need to do.
