SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The case of Kimberly Wong, a 27-year-old tech worker who was tragically killed in her Presidio Heights apartment just after Thanksgiving, has taken another turn as her boyfriend, Scott Fisher, 29, appeared in court on Wednesday. Fisher pleaded not guilty last month to the murder of Wong, who was found fatally stabbed in the apartment the two shared on the 3200 block of Clay Street in San Francisco on November 30. He was arrested a week after the killing in Concord, and the case has been described by investigators as a case of domestic violence.
As reported by local media, Fisher’s public defender, Meenha Lee, requested an extension on his preliminary hearing, which has now been set for March 26, with another court date set for February 22. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins expressed her commitment to pursuing justice for Wong and her family at Fisher’s arraignment on December 15.
According to court documents seen by local media, Wong had expressed fears to a friend about Fisher’s behavior leading up to her murder. She had reportedly spent the night away from the apartment on November 29 after an altercation with Fisher, and had dropped him off at a relative’s home that evening. The next morning, surveillance video captured the two entering the apartment building together, and Fisher was seen exiting the building alone later that day.
Upon Fisher’s arrest, investigators reportedly took a pair of his shoes as evidence, observing what appeared to be dried blood on one of them. Wong had been a product designer for a fintech company, while Fisher had been employed as an analyst at a local company.
The case against Fisher continues to unfold, shedding light on the events leading up to Wong’s tragic death as her loved ones seek justice in the wake of this devastating loss.
