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.

    Are you basing this on actual statistics, or Fox News speculation? Because there’s so much wrong in that statement I don’t know where to start

      Fox News is a logical falacy scapegoat for people who wants to disqualify someone else’s opinion bc it doesn’t align with yours. Everyone tunes out “fascist” and “Fox news” when they hear it. Saying it doesn’t silence the opinions or make people’s whose opinions do not align with yours go away. Quite the opposite.

        I think that qualifies as a “yes I drank it straight from the fake news pipe and didn’t do any independent research to figure out whether it was actually true”

        Fox News is a logical falacy scapegoat for people who want to disqualify someone else’s opinion just because it isn’t at all backed by facts or analysis. Proving that they’re objectively, measurably wrong doesn’t silence the opinions or make people’s whose opinions do not align with yours go away. Quite the opposite, we don’t care about the facts at all.
