Balto. Co. police identify man shot outside home
Police have identified a man who was shot to death Monday evening outside his home in southwestern Baltimore County. Homicide detectives learned that Kajuan Antoine Granger, 30, of the 1000 block of Arion Park Road had arrived home from a store about 7:15 p.m. and, according to witnesses, was preparing to unload some items from his car when he was approached by a small group of armed men. The men began shooting at Granger, and he tried to flee, the witnesses told police. Granger fell to the ground a short distance away. Police and paramedics were summoned by a woman who called 911 and said she could see a man lying motionless in the street. Granger was taken to St. Agnes Hospital, where he was declared dead about 30 minutes later. Detectives have not ascertained a motive for the shooting, nor do they know of any suspects, a statement from the department said.

Bel Air rapist sentenced to 100 years in prison
A rapist whose sweat led to his arrest was sentenced Tuesday to 100 years in prison. Glenn Raynor was arrested more than two years after the attack, which occurred in Bel Air in April 2006. Authorities say Raynor broke into a woman's home in the middle of the night, cut her phone lines and raped her in her bed. State police collected DNA swabs from more than 20 people but failed to develop a suspect. A tip from the victim last summer led police to interview Raynor. After the interview, police swabbed the chair where he'd been sitting, and DNA from his sweat was found to match blood from the crime scene.
