Police say a man wanted in the killing of a Baltimore tech entrepreneur has been arrested
Frank LaPere, Nico LaPere and Caroline Frank, the family of Pava LaPere, founder of tech startup EcoMap Technologies, speak during a vigil on Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2023, in Baltimore. Loved ones are remembering the slain Baltimore tech entrepreneur for her compassion and dedication to helping others. Baltimore police found 26-year-old Pava LaPere dead from blunt force trauma in her apartment complex after she was reported missing late Monday morning.
LaPere’s family thanked city police and their law enforcement partners for their “tireless efforts” throughout the investigation and apprehension of the suspect. Assistant State’s Attorney Robert “Trey” Perkins III agreed that the case involved a “horrible set of facts” but said the rape victim had been through enough and that it is traumatizing to testify at a trial in front of 12 strangers. Perkins said he had spoken with the victim and said she was “pleased with the arrangement.”“I say that, because I want you to fully appreciate that this court is not satisfied with this plea agreement.
“When we had the press conference about LaPere’s death, we were within about 88 meters of capturing the suspect, but he was able to elude capture,” Worley said.
