San Francisco tech worker found dead at home was killed by boyfriend, police say
The boyfriend of a San Francisco tech worker found dead in her apartment last month has been arrested for murder in what police have described as a fatal incident of domestic violence.
Scott Fisher, 29, was arrested Thursday morning in Concord, California, about 30 miles northeast of the Presidio Heights apartment where 27-year-old Kimberly Wong was discovered dead during a welfare check on November 30.
Fisher was booked at the San Francisco County Jail and charged with homicide, the San Francisco Police Department said in a statement.
Wong was found unresponsive at her Clay Street apartment where she is believed to have lived with Fisher. Officers attempted life-saving measures, but Wong was pronounced dead at the scene.
Early in their investigation, detectives suspected the death was the result of domestic violence. It remains unclear what led officers to suspect Fisher.
Wong’s exact cause of death has not yet been released.
A product designer at Plaid, a San Francisco-based website that ties customers’ financial accounts to apps and other online services, she was remembered as a “smart, talented, positive, and a valued member of our team who made an impact on everyone who worked with her,” by the company in a statement to SF Gate.
“We are devastated at the news of Kim’s passing,” the company added.
Prison records indicate Scott is being held without bail.
Investigators noted the case remains open and under investigation.
