The man arrested in connection with the death of Baltimore tech entrepreneur Pava LaPere was suspected of raping a woman days earlier, according to police who initially withheld that information from the public.
Authorities said Thursday that Jason Billingsley was the suspect in a Sept. 19 incident at a residence on Edmondson Avenue in West Baltimore. Police said it was a “targeted” incident and they had issued an arrest warrant for Billingsley within hours.
Billingsley was being monitored and surveilled by law enforcement for his connection to the rape when LaPere was killed.
