A former college football player accused of killing three people at random last month in a New Orleans, La., suburb was denied bail on Tuesday.

He is also connected to a fourth death in New Orleans but has not been arrested in that case, according to WWL-TV.

A judge in the Jefferson Parish denied bond for Barrette during a probable cause hearing. An assistant district attorney described him as a threat to the community.
Sheriff Joseph Lopinto said at a news conference in June that authorities at the time had "not been able to identify any connection between the victims and the suspect. ... I believe that he was actually picking his targets at random, shooting them in the vehicle."
Barrette allegedly killed Isai Cadalzo, 22, before shooting Manuel Caronia, 45, and Nicky Robeau, 57.

A cellphone found at one of the crime scenes was traced to Barrette, according to the sheriff, who added that Barrette has had "a history of mental problems," including two commitments for treatment, in December and April.
One of Robeau's daughters, Nicole, told WWL-TV that the death of her father "just basically destroyed our life and took the most amazing man away from us."
"It was just hard on me because my dad was, like, my best friend," she said. "It still doesn't seem real, like it really happened."
