The Baltimore Police Department has announced an arrest warrant for a suspect wanted for the murder of Pava LaPere, the 26-year-old CEO of startup EcoMap Technologies, who was found dead in a downtown Baltimore apartment Monday with signs of blunt-force trauma to her head.

Police are looking for 32-year-old Jason Dean Billingsley, Acting Police Commissioner Richard Worley said during a news conference Tuesday.

Officers responded to a call for service at an apartment complex in the 300 block of West Franklin Street at around 11:34 a.m. Monday, according to Baltimore police. Upon arriving, the officers found LaPere with severe injuries to her head. Police have not released any further information on her death.

      A 26 year old running a start up. This isn’t Tim Cook or Elon Musk.

      I get the CEO hate, but I hope you honestly see how this is different.

      If you started a company right now as a sole proprietor you would be the CEO.

      It’s easy to make a low-effort joke-comment like this, and obviously Fortune 500 CEOs and billionaires aren’t doing any good for the world, but this was a young woman who was pursuing her passion to try to make the world a better place.

      The entire company is less than 50 people, and they seem to be trying to do good things.

      I think we should try to be more context aware. “CEO BAD” is an easy philosophy to espouse, but it doesn’t really encompass the nuances of reality.
