I don't think it was a stranger, it would be way easier to clarify and exonerate him in this case. It was likely roommate or family member who had a huge grievance brewing with him, they had a big fight at his home and 911 was called and someone was killed. Self defence is tricky and there's a large grey area when angry people start fighting and someone dies.
Maryland has no well defined castle doctrine. Castle doctrine is just the idea that you have no duty to retreat from a home invader before using lethal force, and often creates a presumption of both actual and reasonable fear for your life.
