Alleged I-96 Shooter Waives Oakland Case to TrialAlleged I-96 Shooter Waives Oakland Case to Trial

3/1/13 - A man accused of a series of shootings on and off I-96 in a four-county area, including Livingston County, has told a judge to send one of the cases to trial. Raulie Casteel waived his right to a hearing today to determine if prosecutors have enough evidence in the Oakland County case. He’ll be arraigned in Oakland County Circuit Court on March 14th on 60 charges, including attempted murder, linked to shootings in Commerce Township and in Wixom. Casteel lived with his wife, daughter and in-laws in Wixom. The two dozen random shootings occurred last fall. One man was injured. The Livingston County charges against Casteel are being handled by the Michigan Attorney General’s office and will next be in court March 27th. Those counts, which also cover any incidents that occurred in Ingham and Shiawassee counties, include terrorism and attempted murder. (JK)
