LaPere, 26, who started a software company and was named one of Forbes' "30 Under 30," was found dead at a Baltimore apartment Monday.

Authorities have arrested the man suspected of killing of Baltimore tech entrepreneur Pava LaPere, a U.S. Marshal confirmed, as police announced plans to reveal details of the capture following a major manhunt.

Baltimore police said they planned to announce the “arrest of murder suspect Jason Billingsley” in a news conference at 11 a.m. ET Thursday. No further details were released and police did not immediately respond to requests for comment from NBC News early Thursday.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Albert Maresca Jr. confirmed Billingsley’s arrest to Baltimore-based NBC affiliate WBAL-TV. He said the suspect, who is 32, was apprehended at a train station in Bowie, Maryland.

    Might’ve taken this in good faith had I not checked your comment history to see you insisting all drag queens are a danger to children

    Can you please point to me where I said that? I said no such thing.

      Don’t bother, friend. Attacking someone’s character is a logical fallacy. When they go into your post history they have no defense.

      There’s something very, very odd with the Fediverse because there is a very high concentration of illogical, emotionally charged liberal bigots on this site.
