Casanova was reportedly the recent victim of jail violence, receiving vicious slashes to his face in an altercation with another inmate named Ulysses Lugo, following renouncing his ties to the gang. It happened on Thursday (June 15), while awaiting sentencing on his RICO case at the Essex County Correction Facility in Newark.
After getting slashed, he chased Lugo, jumped on top of him and “cut Inmate Lugo’s face several times.” Reports say Casanova didn’t act alone. Others hopped into the altercation and joined in the violent melee.
