BATON ROUGE - A man accused of fatally shooting three people last year was declared incompetent to stand trial in Baton Rouge Wednesday.

The Advocate reports, State District Judge Trudy White handed down the ruling in the Ryan Sharpe case. The news outlet reports that his mental status puts criminal proceedings in that jurisdiction on hold for now.

Last year year, Sharpe pleaded not guilty to killing former BREC Park Commissioner Caroll Breeden. He also entered a not guilty plea for the deaths of Thomas Bass and Brad DeFrancheschi and the attempted murder of Buck Hornsby. 

He was previously declared incompetent in East Feliciana and transferred to a state mental health treatment facility.
