Murder Suspect Arrested Playing Guitar Hero at Wal-Mart
By Tyler Ryan on Aug 4, 2008 in News
Raymundo Castaneda, 30, is just a regular guy who likes to play Guitar Hero however for the last 8 months he has been on the run from police for allegedly killing a man.
In Charlotte, North Carolina, on December 23, 2007, Castaneda and his friend Moises Lionidas Aquilar were watching a soccer game on television when they got into an argument and Casteneda stabbed Aquilar multiple times, killing him.
On Wednesday someone called the CrimeStoppers hotline and said that Castaneda was seen on more than one occasion playing Guitar Hero at a Jacksonville, Florida Wal-Mart.
With that information U.S. Marshals were able to just hang around the Wal-Mart until Castaneda showed up again.
On Friday morning Castaneda must have needed to get a Guitar Hero fix because the U.S. Marshals found him rocking away at the Guitar Hero III display.
“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. As officers approached Castaneda with guns drawn, he put down the axe and gave himself up, saying only, “You got me.”
Castaneda has now been take to the Duval County Jail where he will be meeting with law enforcement from Charlotte for questioning before being extradited back to North Carolina to face a murder charge.
Yes, I love Guitar Hero just as much as the next guy, but if I’m on the run from the cops I don’t think I’d be hanging out in a Wal-Mart playing it. If you’re willing to kill someone, at least drop the pretense of upstanding morals and steal the game.

You know, when I go on my usual killing sprees, I always like to pay a visit to my local Best Buy or Wal-Mart and play some Guitar Hero to ease the tension and rub some of that excess blood on the peripherals in the store.
You guys should try it. Seriously.

That might explain why Raymundo seemed so cool and collected when the cops closed in.
“you got me”
Love it.

He probably said “You got me. Now can I finish the song?”
Takes a real dedicated man to avoid the cops long enough to go play GH at Wal-Mart.
