Baltimore police named Jason Billingsley as suspect in killing of Pava LaPere
BALTIMORE — Authorities late Wednesday night arrested a man accused of killing a Baltimore tech CEO, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Albert Maresca Jr. told 11 News overnight that Jason Billingsley was arrested at a train station in Bowie, Prince George's County.

Armed, dangerous suspect wanted in tech CEO's killing Billingsley, 32, was wanted in connection with the killing of Pava LaPere, who was found dead Monday at her apartment building in Baltimore. LaPere was the founder and CEO of EcoMap Technologies. She was listed in the prestigious Forbes "30 Under 30" class of 2023 for social impact. Her family and friends remembered her with a vigil on Wednesday night.
Worley said there was no forced entry to LaPere's apartment, which was in a secured building. He said it remains unknown whether there was a connection between the suspect and the victim.
"It seems that she was probably murdered on Friday night, and it wasn't recovered until they reported her missing on Sunday," Worley said.
According to a court charging document obtained by 11 News, LaPere's body was found Monday on the roof of the Mount Vernon apartment building where she lived and had an office.
Police identified Billingsley as a suspect in the killing and said he was believed to be armed and dangerous. Billingsley was wanted on first-degree murder, assault, reckless endangerment and other charges, police said.
"It is very clear that this individual posed a substantial danger, that he had been noncompliant and was clearly violating the terms of his supervision after being released, and that alone should be enough to make sure that we keep him off the streets," Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said. "I hope this sends a message to everybody else who likes to commit these kind of cowardly, horrendous acts that we will not tolerate it and we will pull you off the streets of Baltimore."
How police tracked him down Speaking to the search for the suspect, Worley said investigators tracked Billingsley's phone, his financial transactions, his social media as well as surveilled his known addresses, spoke with multiple witnesses and listened to numerous jail calls in an effort to find him.

Rape and murder is a clear violation of terms of release supervision in Baltimore. That sounds like progress.
“Rapping Behind Bars” by JB
So no relation to Barbara.
CEO mudshark BLM supporter murdered by a black guy. Anything else?
‘White Girls Bleed a Lot’...
Or Peter “you’ll shoot your eye out,
kid”
has he been released yet by a Soros prosecutor?
Toll paid.
Was she really mudsharking it?
It’s okay, she was murdered in the name of “justice” and “equity”.
"You bad boy. Bad. Very bad. Don't you dare go murdering other people, ok? Or we will have to get really tough on you, like 500 hours of community service."
Mayor Brandon Scott is an absolute scumbag of the highest order but that’s why he’s a democrat, I suppose. This guy and “everybody else who likes to commit these kind of cowardly, horrendous acts” shouldn’t be on the streets you’re threatening to pull them off of. Congratulations liberals and Baltimore, you all won’t be happy until you’ve imprisoned yourselves to be “fair” to criminals.
Probably not, but she was down with the cause, and Sheeeiit.
Pava LePere was unavailable for comment because she’s dead.
“TOLL PAID.”
Indeed!!!!
White girl living ALONE in one of the worst SH!THOLES in America. What could have possibly gone wrong???
He isn't the only one no thanks to judges and parole boards.
“was clearly violating the terms of his supervision after being released”
I thought those with Royal Blood were allowed one free murder....
