GUILTY MD - Forbes “30 Under 30” CEO Pava LaPere, 26, found with blunt-force trauma, Baltimore, 25 September 2023

[Cryptic]

Baltimore has high crime, I would not consider the area "safe" by most people's standards, by Baltimore standards, is ok but surrounded by worse. She lived and worked in the building and did not have a car, I assume he encountered her inside.

Just for future reference, what are your feelings about safety and Baltimore's Little Italy area?

Just for reference, how safe do you feel is Baltimore's Little Italy area?

Not familiar with that area, maybe a local can jump in, or you can search crime stats.

 

[LifeIsAMystery]

Per LE: No forced entry into apartment building or the victim's apartment. Still investigating.

Not random. previous victims were targeted, suspect knew victim and worked at the building of previous Edmonson Ave crime. well, that explains how he gained access to that building.

Not giving much info about Pava's killing and how she became his next victim or how he accessed HER building?

Did he, as in a previous case, pose as a good Samaritan, or pass himself of as a maintenance man, delivery person, someone needing assistance?

That would be my guess, they may not know at this time.

He was scheduled to check in with sex offender registry unit on Monday and did not.

Baltimore police are scrambling to find an “extremely dangerous” man suspected of killing 26-year-old tech CEO Pava LaPere, who was found dead in an apartment building Monday.

The suspect, 32-year-old Jason Dean Billingsley, should be considered armed and dangerous as he is wanted on charges of first-degree murder, assault and other offenses in connection to LaPere’s death, acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Tuesday.''

''Investigators think Billingsley is still in the Baltimore area and urge anyone who has information on him or his whereabouts to call 911 immediately, Worley said Tuesday.

“This individual will kill, and he will rape,” Worley cautioned, citing the suspect’s criminal record. “He will do anything he can to cause harm.”

Authorities said Thursday that Jason Billingsley was the suspect in a Sept. 19 incident at a residence on Edmondson Avenue in West Baltimore. Police said it was a "targeted" incident and they had issued an arrest warrant for Billingsley within hours.

Billingsley was being monitored and surveilled by law enforcement for his connection to the rape when LaPere was killed.

Police said they did not immediately release details about the Sept. 19 because they feared Billingsley would "go underground."

"We knew early on that the risk was when we went public that the suspect would go underground, which is exactly what he did," Acting Commissioner Richard Worley said.

What does go underground mean?

What does go underground mean?

Hide, avoid LE detection, not live a regular life with everyday activities in public.

What does go underground mean?

I am guessing stop using phone, ATMs, credit/debit cards, contact known associates, etc. which I assume would make him all the more difficult to track down.

Jason Billingsley, who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Pava LaPere, was released from prison last October after earning good behavior credits to reduce the time he served for the 2013 sexual assault.

During a 2015 court hearing, the judge who sentenced Billingsley asked why he should accept a plea agreement below state guidelines.

“Why? It’s horrible,” Circuit Judge Emanual Brown said, according to a transcript obtained by The Baltimore Banner.

This WP article says he worked at her apartment building.

Sound was not great for me during press conference. I heard that he had done maintenance at he site of the rape/arson crime but did not hear that he had worked at the W. Franklin building. Is this an error? I thought I heard they were still investigating a connection and how he gained access?

I heard he knew/targeted the female rape/arson victim on Edmonson and that he "worked" in the building - so maintenance worker would fit. I was listening closely but heard no reference to if or how he knew Pava or gained entry into her building.
