"I'm grateful to @SFPD's Homicide Detail and all the officers from @SFPDSouthern and elsewhere for their tireless work to bring Bob Lee's killer to justice and for their arrest of a suspect this morning," he wrote April 13.

But I hope today's arrest can begin a process of healing and closure for all those touched by this tragedy."

Bob was a child of dreams, and whatever he imagined, no matter how crazy, he made real. Bob was made for the new world."
