The relatives of a 22-year-old Metairie man accused of killing four people during an apparently random “murderous rage” released a statement Friday (June 21) directed toward the families and friends of the victims.
Metairie man accused in 4 shooting deaths linked to 3 more shootings
Sean Barrette, of Metairie, was arrested and booked with two counts of first-degree murder, second-degree murder and two counts of obstruction of justice, accused in a two-parish shooting spree that began June 5.
The Barrette family made the following statement:
“To the families and friends who have been devastated by this senseless tragedy, we are so deeply sorry for your loss. We mourn for you and the beautiful lives taken. We understand there are no words that can ease or take away your pain. We only hope you can one day find peace. We ask everyone to keep all the families who have been devastated in your prayers.”
Barrette is accused of indiscriminately gunning down Isai Cadalzo, 22, Monday night at the intersection of West Metairie and Henry Landry streets, JPSO said. Less than 24 hours later, Barrette fatally shot Manuel Caronia, 45, and Nicky Robeau, 57, at West Metairie and North Starrett streets, according to authorities.
Ballistics evidence linked Barrette to an additional homicide, the June 6 shooting death of Bruce Reed, 62, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Reed was shot and killed on Hayne Boulevard in New Orleans East. NOPD has only identified Barrette as a person of interest in Reed’s death.
Investigators also tied Barrette to a number of shooting incidents:
June 5: Gunfire in the 6200 block of Hayne Boulevard in New Orleans
June 5: Shots fired at two people riding in a car on Interstate 10 near Loyola Drive in Kenner
June: 17: Shots fired at a woman driving on I-10 near Oaklawn Drive in Metairie.
A JPSO SWAT team arrested Barrette at his home Tuesday night shortly after the Metairie double homicide. He was being held without bond on the first-degree murder charges at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. Bond for the other charges was set at more than $2.5 million.
