The man who broke into the Long Island home near Hofstra University and took its residents hostage before a gunfight with police that left him and one of the female students dead had an extensive criminal record, according to The New York Times. Dalton Smith, 30, also a Long Island resident, was wanted for violating parole on a robbery conviction.

It’s stil unclear whether Rebello was killed by Smith or by police crossfire.
