Last Spring, Casanova pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy charges involving the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods gang. The New York native faced up to 60 years in prison for his federal crimes, which traversed from New York all the way down to Florida.
On Tuesday, Damian Williams (the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York) announced that Casanova had been sentenced to 15 years behind bars.
“Caswell Senior is not just a notorious recording artist, but he is also a high-profile leader of a vicious street gang and a magnet for gang violence," Williams said. "At a crowded Miami house party, Senior personally fired a gun that seriously injured and could have killed a victim, inciting a shootout. Further, Senior’s stature in the community was central to Gorilla Stone’s successful recruitment and nationwide expansion. Today’s sentencing — along with the other significant sentences that have been imposed in this case — shows once again that gang life is not worth it and will lead to many years in prison.”
The announcement comes about a week and a half after Casanova was attacked and slashed in prison by an inmate named Ulysses Lugo.
