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.

Serving 30 years, released after 7...
- He was sentenced to 14 years, this article is trash.
- With all the bleeding-hearts on Lemmy who think we should be coddling criminals, I'm not shocked he was released after serving just 1/4 of his sentence. Clearly he was rehabilitated!1!!! Oh wait. No he wasn't.
  
  This just in: US prisons aren't interested in rehabilitating the people held in them.
  
  Maybe you should research criminal justice in other countries and how they avoid the same recidivism rates as we have before spouting dumb fucking boot licking garbage like this.
  
  It's almost like the US prison system isn't meant to rehabilitate and instead is meant to control the lower class and imprison the 'right' people.
  
  That has more to do with the US justice system being focused on punishment than rehabilitation. You have to release people at some point, and when you do you want criminals to be better people.
  
  Also this guy having received a 40 years punishment sounds like he had some weed on him, perhaps? Prison times in the US can be insanely high for relatively small offenses

  Conservatives aren't human.
Why is it so important to cover her career in detail? Every article I see talks about it as it it were important.
Was she a billionaire?
Tbf, we do need some more CEO murderers....
- My dude, they were "CEO" of a startup. The company is so small, they don't even have a wikipedia page.
  
  Linkedin says 11-50 employees. This isn't "big tech CEO", this is "small business startup owner".
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
  
  It's what happens when someone hates capitalism so much and hasn't touched grass in so long that they cheer on the brutal murder of small business owners. Prime example of your brain on extreme black-and-white thinking.
- '26yo woman who is founder and CEO of a startup' doesn't even say anything negative about her character. This is underserved brutality.
