A man accused of sending death threats to hip-hop couple Jay-Z and Beyonce has been ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation by a judge.
Leon Desmond Barrett is alleged to have penned more than a dozen letters between December 2006 and April 2009 that he sent to the celebrity duo, and to other stars.
A letter on 18 August 2007 read: “I’m getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first four people I’m getting ready to kill.”
According to police, some of the handwritten notes referred to a reported dispute between Barrett and Bettis’ family, with one stating: “We do not want to have a gunfight with them but if we have to, we will. I guess it (sic) going to be another Virginia Tech. massacre all over again in Detroit.”
