A 33yearold tech CEO was found dismembered in a New York apartment, law enforcement source says

USA A 33yearold tech CEO was found dismembered in a luxury New York condo, a law enforcement source told CNN. The New York Police Department confirmed a man had been found dead Tuesday in an apartment in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The source identified him as tech entrepreneur Fahim Saleh, a venture capitalist and CEO of Gokada, Nigeria’s motorcycle ridehail company.

Saleh was last seen in surveillance footage Monday evening, getting into the elevator in his apartment building in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the source said. A man dressed in all black who, according to police, is suspected to be Saleh’s assailant is seen in the video entering the elevator with him, according to the official. The elevator in Saleh’s building goes straight into the apartment units there, the source said.

Once inside Saleh’s apartment, the alleged assailant started to attack him, the source said. When the CEO’s sister went to check in on him, she discovered Saleh’s torso in an area next to the living room, the official said. Other parts of his body were stuffed into individual bags in the apartment, the source said.

Police haven’t yet determined a motive behind the grisly attack, the source said. The NYPD is looking into how the attacker exited the apartment building. Saleh’s family confirmed his death in a statement.

“The headlines talk about a crime we still cannot fathom,” the statement said. “Fahim

is more than what you are reading. He is so much more. His brilliant and innovative mind took everyone who was a part of his world on a journey and he made sure never to leave anyone behind.” “There are no words or actions to provide any of us comfort except the capture of the person who exhibited nothing short of evil upon our loved one.” Gokada called Saleh’s death “sudden and tragic” on Twitter.
