Suspect in I-96 shootings faces 60 charges

Novi — A Wixom man was charged Friday with 60 offenses, including assault with intent to murder, related to nine separate roadway shooting incidents in Oakland County last month.

Raulie Wayne Casteel, 43, stood mute to the charges in a video arraignment from the Livingston County Jail, where he has been held since Wednesday, because of similar charges involving a single shooting incident in that county. Investigators believe he is responsible for 24 separate shootings.

Casteel seemed calm and alert and waived his right to a full reading of the charges against him on his attorney's advice that they would discuss them later. Casteel told District Judge Dennis Powers he understood all the charges against him.

Powers declined to set bond on the assault with intent to murder charge, which can carry up to life in prison.
