   BALTIMORE — Baltimore police confirmed that the suspect accused of killing   
   Baltimore tech CEO Pava LaPere is also wanted in connection to another violent   
   crime from earlier this month.   
      
   Jason Billingsley, 32, is wanted for first-degree murder, assault, reckless   
   endangerment and other charges after police believe he killed Pava LaPere, 26.   
      
   LaPere was the founder and CEO of EcoMap Technologies. She was listed in the   
   prestigious Forbes "30 Under 30" class of 2023 for social impact.   
      
   Police announced Wednesday that Billingsley is wanted in connection to an   
   attempted murder, arson and rape that occurred on Sept. 19 in the 800 block of   
   Edmonson Avenue.   
      
   Evidence gathered through the course of their investigations helped police   
   connect Billingsley to both crimes. Detectives are now reviewing all cases   
   since October 2022 to determine if he could be connected to any more,   
   according to police.   
      
   "Pava was that person who was always smiling, always optimistic and always   
   willing to help others. Even the company she started was to help others. Pava   
   was one of the best," friend Mac Conwell said.   
      
   Police have been strategic in what information they release. They have not   
   indicated what led them to consider Billingsley the suspect in LaPere's murder.   
      
   He was not paroled, but released from prison in October 2022. According to the   
   Maryland Department of Public Safety and Corrections, Billingsley was placed   
   on mandatory supervision release. The release included good time credits.   
      
   He was also placed on the sex offender registry and was recently listed as   
   non-compliant. State officials said he did not reregister this month, as   
   directed.   
      
   According to court records, in 2015, he pleaded guilty to a sexual offense   
   that happened in 2013. A court document said the victim claimed, "Jason told   
   her he wanted to have sex with her." "Jason struck her in the face and placed   
   both hands around her    
   neck. He told her she was going to do what he said, or he was going to shoot   
   her."   
      
   A judge sentenced Billingsley to 30 years in prison, but suspended all but 16   
   years for first-degree sex offense, assault and false imprisonment. Earlier,   
   he was charged with beating and assaulting an ex-girlfriend at an apartment on   
   Dolphin Street. He    
   pleaded guilty in 2011. In December 2009, he received a suspended five-year   
   sentence for assault and was put on two years of probation.   
      
   In an interview with NBC News, Billingsley's mother, Scarlett Billingsley,   
   said she sent a text to her son telling him to turn himself in. She last saw   
   him at her home on Monday, and he had a gun. She does not believe he will tell   
   her where he is.   
      
   Billingsley is considered armed and dangerous. Police say you should call 911   
   if you come in contact with him.   
      
   Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $6,000 for information   
   leading to an arrest. You can reach out anonymously by calling 1-866-7LOCKUP.   
      
   This report will be updated.
