Singer Tory Lanez seen soaked in blood after being stabbed 14 times in prison
A disturbing photo has emerged of Tory Lanez in the moments after he was stabbed 14 times in prison. The 42-year-old singer is currently serving a 10-year-long sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion and was recently stabbed by another inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.
In new pictures of the incident obtained by TMZ, he was seen with a panicked expression on his face as he walked down a corridor in grey shorts and gold chains while drenched and splattered with blood.
The pictures emerged after a 39-second clip showed the music star walking out of a cell and standing by a staircase before an attacker, called Santino Casio, charged at him. Tory soon collapses to the ground as he screamed: "Oh God" in pain while kicking and writhing on the ground.
He eventually managed to escape the situation and run down the stairs. A few days after he was stabbed, it was revealed he was in a "fair comdition" at the California Correctional Institution.
The jail said the star, real name Daystar Peterson, was moved from hospital to restricted housing pending the investigation into the horror.
It was said the rapper, born in Brampton, Canada, was stabbed 14 times - including seven wounds to his back and four to his torso - and then reportedly suffered a collapsed lung.
A prison official told the Mirror: "On May 12, 2025, at approximately 7:20 a.m., Daystar Peterson (BW0168) was allegedly attacked by an incarcerated person Santino Casio (V23575), at a housing unit in the California Correctional Institution (CCI) in Tehachapi. Staff immediately responded, activated 911 and began medical aid.
"Peterson was subsequently transported to an outside medical facility for further treatment and is in fair condition.
"Casio has been placed in restricted housing pending an investigation by the CCI Investigative Services Unit and theKern County District Attorney's Office. The Office of the Inspector General has been notified."
Details of what happened were shared on the star's Instagram page. The lengthy post ended with optimism. It said: "Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through.
"He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support," and was accompanied by emojis, representing prayer hands and an umbrella.
The California Correctional Institution, which is about 75 miles (120km) north of Los Angeles, is home to more than 2,000 inmates, including serial killers and sex offenders.

Liz Truss plugs whiskey in bizarre vid with bare-knuckle boxer who attacked OAP
In the bizarre new video, a grinning Liz Truss is seen alongside 36-year-old Dougie Joyce, who was jailed for leaving an elderly man with 'significant facial injuries' Liz Truss has been slammed for appearing in a video with a bare-knuckle boxer who served time in prison for a 'horrendous' attack on a 78-year-old man. The former Prime Minister is seen alongside convicted criminal Dougie Joyce in a bizarre new clip promoting the 36-year-old's spirit brand, Joyce's Irish Whiskey. Joyce walked free in November after being put behind bars for a 30-minute brawl in a bar in Manchester in October 2020, and was previously handed a 19-month sentence for attacking an elderly man in a pub. But in a video filmed at a recent launch event , short-lived Tory PM Truss is seen smiling and proudly holding up a bottle of the bare-knuckle fighter's whiskey to the camera in an apparent endorsement of his product. He is heard saying "Just remember, Dougie Joyce loves ya", before she adds: "Liz Truss loves you." Sources close to Liz Truss told The Sun that she had not been paid for her appearance at the event last month, which was hosted at National League club Scunthorpe United's stadium. Another described her appearance alongside Joyce as a "serious lapse", adding: "She's a former Prime Minister and has to be extremely careful who she associates herself with. You have to wonder if anyone did the due diligence." In a post last week on Instagram, Joyce described it as "great honour to have former Prime Minister Liz Truss as a special guest at my event", saying that the Tory ex-PM "took the time to speak about the future of business and the steps we can take moving forward." He added: "Having her there truly meant a lot and added a distinguished touch to the occasion." In October 2022, Joyce confronted a 78-year-old man in the back room of pub in Manchester city centre, shouting angrily before punching him three times, knocking him off his seat and causing severe bleeding. He then stood over the victim and urged another man to hit him, before delivering a powerful left punch that sent him crashing over furniture. Joyce then leant over the helpless victim and hit him another time while he lay on the ground. The elderly man was left with "significant facial injuries", in part because of the large gold ring Joyce was wearing. Speaking after he was sentenced to 20 months in prison back in November 2023, Greater Manchester Police's Detective Constable Natalie Hollows said: "Joyce is an aggressive and violent man who intended to intimidate and inflict pain on a vulnerable 78 year old man by carrying out this horrendous assault. "Joyce was wearing a large gold pyramid-style ring when he punched the man in the face, causing him significant injury due to the size and shape accelerated by force and the series of punches he endured. I'm glad Joyce will now face time behind bars as punishment for his actions and hope he takes this time to reflect on the impact of his actions." And last May, Joyce was handed a 13-month jail sentence while his brother Tom was given 22 months in prison for a brawl with the rival Doherty family in another Manchester pub. Dougie Joyce ended up being released in November, and has since vowed to clean up his act by throwing himself into charity work and his drinks business.

He said his catchphrase: 'Just remember, Dougie Joyce loves ya.' The ex-PM then held up the spirit and beamed: 'Liz Truss loves you.' Last night, a source close to guest-of-honour Truss insisted she had not been paid to appear at last month's event at non-league Scunthorpe United's stadium. But that raised further questions over her apparent lack of judgment as she is considering a comeback to frontline politics.

Either way this is a serious lapse. 'Aggressive and violent man' 'She's a former Prime Minister and has to be extremely careful who she associates herself with. 'You have to wonder if anyone did the due diligence.' Joyce, who has links to the notorious Gooch gang, was captured on CCTV attacking the widower. He was seen shouting and pointing at his victim before unleashing three vicious blows. Joyce was jailed for 19 months by Manchester crown court in November 2023. At the time, Det Con Natalie Hollows said: 'Joyce is an aggressive and violent man.

He wrote on Instagram of his launch for Joyce's Irish Whiskey: 'It was a great honour to have former Prime Minister Liz Truss as a special guest. 6 A source close to Truss insisted she had not been paid to appear alongside Joyce Credit: Instagram 6 Bare-knuckle fighter Joyce attacked a man of 78 in a bar Credit: SWNS 6 Liz Truss was Prime Minister in 2022, lasting 49 days Credit: PA 'Having her there truly meant a lot and added a distinguished touch to the occasion.' Last night he declined to comment. A spokesman for Truss — who lasted 49 days in No10 in 2022 — said: 'She attended the event to support the people working to regenerate the town and Scunthorpe FC.' At the weekend Truss, 49, appeared at a conference in Hungary with its PM Viktor Orban, a stooge of Russia's Vladimir Putin. Last year she was accused of 'propagating conspiracy theories' during a trip to the US. And she was criticised for taking part in an interview with President Donald Trump's controversial ex-strategist Steve Bannon — remaining silent as he praised far right activist Tommy Robinson as a 'hero'.
