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.

    Buddy, my friends and family live in Chicago. Statistics aren’t going to convince them one way or another.

      So not a single recent news story, or a link to police records showing an increase? Just a “trust me, I know a guy”?

      The people who don’t trust facts and don’t ask for facts are a problem. They are the reason we have antivax. If you are truly friends with those people, maybe work on that with them. It sounds like they need help with reality.

      Let me ask you a question.

      Do you think Biden is responsible for the current state of the economy?

      Simple yes or no, all that’s needed.
