Manhunt for Suspect in Slaying of Baltimore Tech CEO

The mother of Jason Billingsley, the suspect wanted in the slaying of Baltimore tech CEO Pava LaPere, has urged her son to surrender, fearing for his safety. Scarlett Billingsley expressed concern that police might shoot him if they believe he is armed. Authorities found LaPere's body with apparent blunt-force trauma, and the cause of death is yet to be determined. Jason Billingsley, a repeat violent offender, was released in October despite being labeled a high-risk offender. Police have not disclosed a possible motive for the murder or if the suspect and victim knew each other.
