City officials announced Tuesday that an arrest warrant had been issued for Jason Dean Billingsley, 32, who is charged with first-degree murder in LaPere’s death. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said Billingsley, a registered sex offender who was released from prison last fall, is armed and “extremely dangerous.”
A Baltimore police spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday morning. “The circumstances surrounding Pava’s death are deeply distressing, and our deepest condolences are with her family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly devastating time,” the company wrote on Facebook. “Pava was not only the visionary force behind EcoMap but was also a deeply compassionate and dedicated leader.”
LaPere was considered an innovative leader. She founded EcoMap with chief operating officer Sherrod Davis when she was 21 and in school at Johns Hopkins University, according to the company’s website. In a 2018 interview with the university, LaPere, who grew up in Tucson, emphasized how excited she was to centralize resources for entrepreneurs.
