Howell — A Wixom man was charged Wednesday with committing one of the 24 roadway shootings that terrorized Metro Detroit motorists, and authorities say more charges are likely to follow.
Raulie Wayne Casteel, 43, of Wixom was formally charged by video arraignment from jail before 53rd District Judge Carol Sue Reader with six counts in connection with a shooting at 2:43 p.m. Oct. 18 on westbound Interstate 96 near mile marker 135, Livingston County Prosecutor David Morse said.
"This incident we are charging arises out of a single incident ... there are additional charges pending in Oakland, Ingham and Shiawassee counties," Morse told reporters after the arraignment. "There were statements taken from individuals which led to these charges."
In the Oct. 18 incident — one of 24 random shootings investigators believe Casteel is responsible for — the intended victim, Jennifer Kupiec, gave police a description of the vehicle, the shooter and a partial number off a Michigan State University vanity plate.
