Baltimore police are scrambling to find an “extremely dangerous” man suspected of murdering 26-year-old tech CEO Pava LaPere, who was found dead in an apartment building on 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, acting Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley said Tuesday.

LaPere, co-founder of the small startup EcoMap Technologies, was reported missing Monday morning, police said. Hours later, police were called to a downtown apartment building, where LaPere was discovered with signs of blunt-force trauma to her head, Worley said.

    Are more people wrongfully convicted than shitty ones? If not unfortunately blindly releasing people from prison will do more harm then good. I’m all for reforming the system but just letting convicted rapists/murderers go free with no rehabilitation isn’t the way to go.

      Where did I say that I wanted to blindly release people from prison? You just outed how black and white you see the world. You only see these options: throw away the key, or let everyone out.

      You clearly don’t actually care about rehabilitation. It seems that you also just want to keep the ‘right’ people locked up. Hopefully this line of thinking stays in the minority where it belongs.

        Currently there is no rehabilitation going on. Therefore, people going into prison are just as rehabilitated as when they come out, so yes, unless something changes they need to stay in there.

          So you’re suggesting that anyone convicted of a crime should be indefinitely imprisoned until everyone else gets their shit together and revamps the system at which point they can be rehabilitated and then reintroduced to society?

          Are you fr bro? 😂

            Yea, that would suck for me. Doesn’t mean we should release people we don’t know are reformed. That would suck for everyone.
