The discovery of Tech CEO Pava LaPere’s body, beaten to death on the roof of her upscale apartment building, has prompted a police search for her killer. LaPere, the 26-year-old founder of EcoMap Technologies, was reportedly killed by blunt force trauma, according to police. An arrest warrant has been issued for a 32-year-old local man, Jason Billingsley, who was released from prison less than a year ago after serving only seven years of a 30-year sentence.
Authorities have confirmed that LaPere’s badly beaten body was found on the roof of her luxury apartment building, raising the possibility that she was either led up there before the attack or that her body was discarded on the roof afterwards to hide the crime.
Billingsley, who is not believed to have known LaPere, faces charges of first-degree murder, assault, and reckless endangerment. He had been jailed for 30 years in 2015 and was released in October 2022 after serving only seven years. Police sources have also pointed to his potential involvement in another case, and are investigating possible links to an assault and arson attack that left two people fighting for their lives.
Authorities have described Billingsley as a repeat violent offender and have urged the public to stay vigilant, asserting their determination to find him and bring him to justice. He has a long history of criminal offenses, including robbery, assault, sex offenses, and multiple arrests dating back to 2009.
