SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 1 – On the day
Tekashi #6ix9ine co-defendant
Kooda B was sentenced to 54
months in prison for arranging
a shooting at Chief Keef,
fellow rapper Caswell Senior
or Casanova along with 17
others was charged with
racketeering. Inner City
Press will also cover this
case.
Readers may
remember that the Barclays
Center shooting that #6ix9ine
and his co-defendants were
charged with involved or
targeted Casanova. Inner City
Press tweeted video here.
The US Attorney's
Office annouced that the gang
"committed terrible acts of
violence, trafficked in
narcotics, and even engaged in
brazen fraud by exploiting
benefits programs meant to
provide assistance in response
to the COVID-19
pandemic. Because of
that, communities across the
Southern District – from
Poughkeepsie to Peekskill to
New York City –
suffered."
Casanova is
barely mentioned in the
announcement, and is charged
in the Complaint in Count 1,
Racketeering, Count 13
(narcotics) and Count 14
(firearms).
Given that
Kooda B / Kintea McKinzie's
music videos, with red
bandanas, were used against
him, Inner City Press wonders
what may be cited in this
case.
The case is US v.
Reid, et al., 20-cr-626
(Halpern).
