A tech CEO and rising entrepreneur was found decapitated and dismembered in his New York City apartment.
Fahim Saleh, 33, was last seen Monday afternoon at 1:40 p.m. at his apartment building. Surveillance footage showed him walking into an elevator, which opens into his apartment, and his suspected killer getting on, as well, with a bag in his hand, the New York Post reported.
As soon as the elevator doors opened to Saleh’s apartment, the suspect allegedly started attacking him.
Saleh founded Gokada, a Nigerian-based motorcycle ridesharing company, in 2018 and took over as its CEO in 2019. His LinkedIn profile indicated he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in computer and information science from Bentley University in 2009.
His company released a statement about his death on Twitter.
We are deeply saddened to inform you about the sudden and tragic loss of our founder and CEO, Fahim Saleh. Fahim was a great leader, inspiration and positive light for all of us.
