Ingham County Sheriff Gene Wriggelsworth told The Associated Press that authorities executed a search warrant late Monday night in Wixom, the Detroit suburb where the shootings began last month.
"We're trying to confirm whether he's our guy or not," Wriggelsworth said.
Asked for more details on the execution of the search warrant, the sheriff said: "We'll have to see how this shakes out."
The shootings began Oct. 16 and stretched from Oakland County west to Ingham County. The targets in the 24 reported incidents were mostly cars traveling on roads near Interstate 96. Only a handful of shootings actually occurred on the interstate.
Police earlier released a sketch of a man in his late 20s or early 30s who they said drove a black car.
