>> reporter: lee's friend learned through text. >> members of the san francisco police department's investigations bureau and tactical unit served an order. >> reporter: police executed to search warrants. they won't say yet what happened between lee and momemi that fateful night. the pair were driving together downtown when a confrontation erupted and lee was stabbed. someone told nbc bay area news, they saw police recover a 5 to 6-inch knife. the district attorney is charging momemi with murder with an enhancement alleging that it was committed with a knife. >> this is very much an ongoing investigation and my job is to make sure that nothing is

compromised. >> we have other homicides that we work just as hard on. i understand and appreciate the interest in this case. that's not lost on any of us. but let's not forget that we have lost other lives in the city and there's work to be done on those cases as well. >> reporter: it's surreal he's gone. >> we were supposed to be hanging out this week in miami. it was weird. he got killed the day before i was heading out to miami. so who is the suspected killer? as we mentioned, like bob lee, he also is a bay area tech worker. jodi hernandez spoke with people who know momemi. she has more. >> i heard this bang, bang, bang, bang and i don't know what it was. it sounds like something hitting metal. >> reporter: she describes the sound she heard as police descended on the building where he lives as they arrested her

neighborhood nima momemi. >> he was a very nice guy. professional. great neighbor. absolutely shocking that he is accused of this crime. >> reporter: public relationships specialist has an office space right next door to momemi's unit. he said momemi gave him a tour of his place when singer moved into his new office last month. >> very typical san francisco technology office. there's a pool table in the middle, lots of technology equipment, a lot of wiring. a very fancy gourmet food in the kitchen. fancy upscale stereo system. >> reporter: he left some of his business cards behind. he founded a company called expand it. according to the company's website, a client-sentic i.t. outsourcing firm. >> he does cybersecurity and server work. he handed us a stack of his cards when we first met and said if you need i.t. help, give us a call. >> very jovial, down to earth

kind of person. >> reporter: he worked with momemi a few years back. a start-up company he worked for at the time hired the i.t. specialist to set up their network. he said he never saw any red flags. >> every interaction that i had with him, it was always very cordial. never anything untoward on any -- any signs of any anger or anything of that nature. >> reporter: while police say nima momemi and his alleged victim tech executive bob lee knew each other, the nature of their relationship is still unknown. adding to the mystery, a woman was knocking on doors on april 3rd just one night before the murder. the woman was roaming around the hallways and screaming his name.

the cameras caught the behavior. >> they looked at security footage and there was a woman wandering around calling his name and knocking on the wrong door to get entrance into his space. >> reporter: jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> you're going to continue the follow the story closely. head to our website, click bob lee, you'll find it right there at the top of our home page. this morning police are confirming a carjacking led to an officer-involved shooting. one suspect is dead. a second is in custody. about 3:20 yesterday afternoon they were alerted by their cameras that a carjacked vehicle came to the city on mallory avenue. the car was found on cedar boulevard and conducted a high-risk stop. the officer-involved shooting

occurred at the time. one suspect died. the second was taken to the hospital. he's been released and is now in custody. what's not clear is if that second suspect was shot or if the suspects fired at police. investigators say several officers were involved. >> our understanding, not all shooters have been interviewed at this time. but it's our understanding that there are officers involved from both areas. >> police confirm a weapon was recovered at the scene. no officers or bystanders were hurt. nasa is using space-age technology to fight fires. the agency wants to put high-tech eyes in the sky to better track the way fires move. researchers at nasa research center are using sub orbital assets to conduct that study. it includes unmanned planes used to care firefighting gear. project leaders say it includes drones capable of moving cameras without risking lives.

>> use different technologies to identify wildfires. or we use scientific payloads to be able to track and monitor as well. >> it's through the innovation that we're going to be able to address wildfires, catch them before they become massive. nasa says it's going to wrap up the use of the technology over the summer as climate change makes fire season less predictable, longer burning and more dangerous than ever. you'll be able to expand your tweets. next on "today in the bay," the few feature that's rolling out. but there's a catch. we'll explain. going green for earth day. the way usher is making it possible for you to ride in style and also help the planet. stay wh us. you'itre

including the amazing weather. here's a look right now as we're getting started in san rafael. it is all quiet and we're starting out with cool temperatures. it's in the low 40s right now. the wind is calm and we have more sunshine in the forecast for today. as we go from low 40s to low 50s at 10:00, 56 degrees at 11:00, yeah, you'll need the jacket for the start of the day, but the rest of the day is going to be comfortable with hayward reaching 64 degrees, 68 in martinez. all of these temperatures, very seasonal for this time of year. and we'll see it gets slightly warmer in some of our inland areas for tomorrow. reaching 73 in morgan hill. livermore, 69 degrees. napa reaching 68 degrees and upper 50s in san francisco. heading into sunday, it's going to be just a touch cooler in some spots. mountain view reaching 66 degrees. still pretty nice for everything going on, including the cherry

and springlike, especially as that sunshine continues. and now as you're heading out there on the road, we're getting a look at the bay bridge. it's overall fairly early. hopefully we'll continue to see a light commute. we're starting to see things pick up on the san mateo bridge. and around all of the bay area, we're not seeing any backups. no little icons, no incidents. i know it's early. hopefully it stays this way, though, especially with it being a friday. another update coming up again in a few minutes. >> thanks, kari. the dangers of fentanyl, the focus of a community meeting on the peninsula. belmont leaders last night hosting a town hall meant to inform the parents. the town's police school resource officer organized that meeting. one particular concern involves recognizing fake medication laced with fentanyl. >> these pills are being marketed, treated, handed out. a kid says, i'm going to pop a

might find yourself in a position where it's not guaranteed free. >> here's how it works. if you are earned $73,000 or less per year, simply type free file in the irs search box. then, it recommends some of its 11 tax preparation partners that will help you file your return. you may be charged in preparing your state taxes. happening today, san francisco's meals on wheels literally on the move from one location to the other. the non-profit has a new headquarters which you can see here. the new digs are located south of the hill, follows three decades at its bay view home. later today, leaders will hold a ribbon-cutting. we're gearing up for game day. the preparations the warriors are making as they gear up to take on the sacramento kings. >> happening now, the short-term rental moratorium could soon come to an end. residents can weigh in on it

practice. steve kerr says they have bigger goals in mind. >> at this stage, after a decade of this for the core guys, it's just about having an opportunity to win another title and we're -- we've given ourselves this chance and the circumstances are different every year and there's no need for any motivation this year in terms of seeking a reason to be motivated. i think trying to go back to back is all the motivation we need. >> the kings are looking good this year. we need to remind you that the warriors took three of four regular games from the kings this year. and we're going to take you out live to thrive city where the warriors throw a hosting viewing party. that's tomorrow night for game one. stick around for that. we're going to talk about it. >> that's going to be a lot of fun. perfect on a saturday night. antioch's police chief now
