New York police on Thursday said they identified a “person of interest” in the murder of young tech entrepreneur Fahim Saleh but the suspect was not in custody yet.   NYPD sources declined to reveal further details about the man wanted in the still-unfolding case, reports the New York Post. Police said the crime scene made his death seem like a "professional" job.

The motive behind the murder of young entrepreneur Fahim Saleh, who co-founded Pathao and Gokada, appear to be financial in nature, a senior NYPD official told WBBH on Wednesday.

Fahim Saleh had a knack for coding and developing apps from his early years. Born to Bangladeshi parents in Saudi Arabia, the 33-year-old created his first company while still in high school.
