Wixom man arrested in I-96 shooting spree; relative says suspect is mentally ill

Wixom — A 43-year-old Wixom man was arrested Monday in connection with the roadway shootings along the Interstate 96 corridor that have terrorized commuters since mid-October.

The man, identified by a relative as Raulie Casteel, was arrested at his home on Kings Crown Court on Monday night. He had not been formally charged as of Tuesday evening.

The suspect owns a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu that matches a description provided by one of the victims, and police said the vehicle was an important piece of the investigation.

"We believe this person is responsible for the shootings, and it's only a matter of determining what charges, either state or federal," said Wixom Police Chief Clarence Goodlein. He believes the suspect will be charged today.
