The Baltimore Police Department has announced an arrest warrant for a suspect wanted for the murder of Pava LaPere, the 26-year-old CEO of startup EcoMap Technologies, who was found dead in a downtown Baltimore apartment Monday with signs of blunt-force trauma to her head.
Police are looking for 32-year-old Jason Dean Billingsley, Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said during a news conference Tuesday.
Officers responded to a call for service at an apartment complex in the 300 block of West Franklin Street at around 11:34 a.m. Monday, according to Baltimore police. Upon arriving, the officers found LaPere with severe injuries to her head. Police have not released any further information on her death.
Even though I am a stanch proponent of eliminating CEOs as a ruling class.
If you cheer on the killer before getting the whole picture, then you and me ain’t friends.
The Suspect pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense charge in 2015, and was sentenced to 30 years in prison with all but 14 years suspended. Denied parole, he was released in October 2022 on good-time credits, according to parole commission Chairman David R. Blumberg. According to court records, The Suspect previously pleaded guilty to first-degree assault in December 2009 and second-degree assault in June 2011
he was released on Oct. 5, 2022 and is listed as “non-compliant,” though it was unclear why.
“This individual will kill and he will rape,”
Only reason this is getting attention is because the person killed was a CEO. Though, this is also another case of the law letting a dangerous criminal out early for good behavior, when he was clearly not being his best self.
It was a company of 30 people, not some massive corporation. I think it’s important to differentiate between small companies and huge, faceless conglomerates.
Yeah the small free range artisanal exploitation of workers is much more palatable.
Aw, here I was ready to make a joke and the truth of the story was a bummer. Thanks for pointing this out ASAP.
That said, I’ll be standing by for when there’s a story “CEO who earned a fortune in blood diamonds and animal cruelty accidentally commits suicide when strangling self during masturbation.”
will kill Obligatory
Seriously though what a failure of the justice system
Check if her startup was going to disrupt any major corporations and check there first
Edit: they have a suspect already and looks to be domestic or B&E related

A 26 year old running a start up. This isn’t Tim Cook or Elon Musk.
I get the CEO hate, but I hope you honestly see how this is different.
If you started a company right now as a sole proprietor you would be the CEO.
It’s easy to make a low-effort joke-comment like this, and obviously Fortune 500 CEOs and billionaires aren’t doing any good for the world, but this was a young woman who was pursuing her passion to try to make the world a better place.
The entire company is less than 50 people, and they seem to be trying to do good things.
I think we should try to be more context aware. “CEO BAD” is an easy philosophy to espouse, but it doesn’t really encompass the nuances of reality.
