Prosecutors argued that Nima Momeni intended to fatally stab Lee over an argument about his sister, whom Lee knew, and her drug use.
Momeni said that Lee attacked him with a knife and that he defended himself and Lee was stabbed.
Ultimately Momeni was convicted o second-degree murder in a San Francisco court. He faces 16 years to life in prison, at sentencing which is scheduled for May.
