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.

    So because our criminal justice system is so terrible, instead of changing anything about it, we just need to… *checks notes… keep people locked up indefinitely.

    Man, I hope you're never railroaded with a false charge by cops and get what you want out of that. Locked up indefinitely over some made up bullshit because you yourself were like "Nah, we shouldn't release criminals, because our justice system is fucked."

    This is some Olympic level mental fucking gymnastics here.

      No. My point was don't let them out until it's fixed. No gymnastics required. I didn't say anywhere not to change things. Just don't release people that haven't been rehabilitated or even served their entire sentence.
