California’s falling incarcerated population has allowed Gov. Gavin Newsom to close four state prisons. Now he’s calling for a fifth.

Santino Casio, 42, was identified as the alleged assailant who stabbed Tory Lanez. Casio is serving a life sentence for second-degree murder and was previously convicted for an in-prison assault with a deadly weapon.

Casio’s rap sheet is a mile long and dates back to 2004, when he was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole for second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, personal use of a dangerous or deadly weapon, and inflict great bodily injury, per the CDCR spokesperson. His crimes didn’t stop during lockup either.

An Instagram post on his verified social media account stated Lanez, 32, born Daystar Peterson, was “stabbed 14 times - including seven wounds to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head, and one to the left side of his face.”
