Following the assassination of a Baltimore IT CEO on Wednesday night, Sept. 27, a guy was apprehended.
Jason Billingsley was detained at a railroad station in Bowie, Prince George’s County, according to Deputy U.S. Marshal Albert Maresca Jr.
City police issued a statement soon before 12:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 28, stating that leaders plan to hold a news conference at 11 a.m. on Billingsley’s arrest in connection with the death of Pava LaPere.
There was no immediate follow-up information.
LaPere was discovered deceased at her Baltimore apartment complex on Monday, September 25.
Police identified Billingsley as a suspect in the killing and said he is believed to be armed and dangerous. Billingsley was wanted on first-degree murder, assault, reckless endangerment and other charges, police said.
Police said evidence gathered through the course of their investigations helped investigators connect Billingsley to both crimes. Detectives are now reviewing all cases since October 2022 to determine if he could be connected to any more, according to police.
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
