Court documents reveal the state plans to deny bond and seek the death penalty for the suspect in a triple murder out of Chickasha.

22-year-old Jacob Mayhugh is accused of shooting and killing his mom, dad, and sister in Chickasha with a rifle he bought in April and then left the scene.

According to documents, in an interview with detectives, Mayhugh said he planned to commit other acts of violence.
