Suspected Killer Caught Playing Air Guitar

Found At Wal-Mart, Fugitive Says 'You Got Me'

POSTED: Friday, August 1, 2008

Shoppers at a Jacksonville Wal-Mart witnessed a bizarre scene Friday morning when U.S. Marshals stormed in and arrested a man playing a video game.

The game ended for 30-year-old Raymundo Castaneda when police arrested him on a murder charge.

According to police, Castaneda was wanted in Charlotte, N.C., after detectives there said he killed a friend over a soccer game.

Police in Jacksonville got a tip and tracked Castaneda down to the Wal-Mart on Philips Highway, where he was playing Guitar Hero.

"A team of U.S. Marshals and JSO officers went in to get Castaneda, but he wasn't paying all that much attention to them. His focus was on this … He was calm, cool and collected. Playing a video game. He didn't have a care in the world," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.

He said as officers approached Castaneda, the suspect looked up and said, "You got me."

Channel 4 learned that Charlotte police have been looking for Castaneda since just after Christmas last year.

"He was on the run since this incident happened. He knew he was a wanted man and thought that he could hide out here in Jacksonville and keep a low profile," Jefferson said.

Castaneda was taken to the Duval County Jail, where he was to be quested by Charlotte detectives.
