Was this random or did he have a motive for killing her?
Just his normal behaviour
Somehow he got let out
Billingsley pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense and was sentenced in 2015 to 30 years in prison, with 16 of those years suspended, court records show. He was paroled in October.
That doesn't really answer the question, though. Most violence is done by people who are habitually violent, and most violence is not completely random and committed against strangers.
Dude is broken, but someone being traumatized and repeating a cycle of aggression and trauma doesn't actually explain any particular incident they have.
He was already wanted for an unrelated rape and murder. She was just the target he selected for the same reason. Maybe he saw her at a coffee shop. Maybe he just saw her on the street.
Well I think that was the original question. Is there some sort of relationship that is not being mentioned. We know he has a past and looks like a person that could very well have done this. But why? Is it just some person at the wrong place and wrong time? Or did he know her?
It's Baltimore. What do you expect.
Certainly not for the police to actually arrest someone. That's how I knew the victim was rich.
