Report: Victim Had Raised Concerns About Alleged Shooter Dayvon Green

UMD police also found that Green had worked as a student aide for the department, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Stephen Rane, the 22-year-old University of Maryland student who was killed Tuesday when roommate Dayvon Maurice Green reportedly opened fire on his roommates, had previously expressed concerns about Green having a gun, The Baltimore Sun reports.

The Sun quotes Drew Needham, a senior and former roommate of Rane, as saying that Rane felt "uncomfortable in the house" given Green's mental illness and ownership of a firearm.

But Rane had not anticipated any violent behavior, Needham told the paper.
