Casanova has learned his fate, and has been sentenced to over 15 years in prison for racketeering and narcotics-related offenses.
On Tuesday (June 27), Casanova was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern to 188 months, or a little more than 15 years, in prison for racketeering and narcotics offenses arising out of his leadership role in the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation Bloods Gang, aka Gorilla Stone. Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, made the announcement today.
Casanova’s Racketeering Offenses
The Brooklyn rapper participated in a shooting in Florida on July 5, 2020, and a robbery in New York City on Aug. 5, 2018, and conspired to traffic over 100 kilograms of marijuana.
“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,” U.S. Attorney Damian 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.”
Casanova is listed in the indictment as participating in a large-scale narcotics conspiracy, and multiple attempted murders and shootings, including two in Florida in which he was involved. He’s described as a “powerful, respected, high-profile member of the gang.” Casanova apparently admitted that he was an organizer or leader of a criminal activity that involved five or more participants. Over 10 years ago, the rhymer reportedly joined the gang while incarcerated and was a member ever since, including upon his release from custody from a prior case in 2013.
