Fahim Saleh (December 12, 1986 – July 13, 2020) was a Bangladeshi-American entrepreneur and computer programmer who founded Gokada and Pathao. Saleh was also a founding partner of Adventure Capital, a Manhattan based venture capital firm. On July 14, 2020, Saleh's body was found decapitated and dismembered in his luxury apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Police have said that he was killed the day before.
Earlier that night, neighbors heard yelling from Saleh's unit and contacted his sister. After her attempts to contact him failed, she visited his condo on July 14 and found a grisly scene. She called police, who found Saleh's torso next to an electric saw, and his head and limbs in garbage bags elsewhere in the apartment.
An autopsy report from the Chief Medical Examiner concluded that Saleh died from multiple stab wounds. Detectives have classified this case as a homicide. A police source told The New York Times that Saleh was followed by a man dressed in black into the key-secured elevator that led to his apartment on the seventh floor.
Security footage depicted Saleh struggling out of the elevator and onto his apartment floor. Detectives suspect that the killer fled the scene through the backdoor after Saleh's sister arrived looking for him, according to another police source. On July 17, 2020, Saleh's personal assistant Tyrese Devon Haspil,was arrested and is expected to be charged with the murder.
