Maryland tech CEO Pava Marie LaPere is the latest victim of progressive criminal justice reform and the "decarceration" movement — a push to let prisoners free, according to experts.
Police found LaPere, 26, dead in her West Franklin Street apartment in Baltimore on Monday morning. Her body showed signs of blunt force trauma, according to authorities.
She had been named to Forbes' "30 Under 30" list this year for the social impact category in her work as founder and "chief ecosystems officer" of EcoMap Technologies, a 30-person software and data firm based in Baltimore.
Her suspected killer, 32-year-old Jason Dean Billingsley, is an ex-con who was released from a 30-year sentence for rape he began in 2015. Half of the sentence had been suspended; however, he still spent only about seven years in prison, court records show, despite assault convictions in 2009 and 2011.
