A man was restrained inside the Port Laveau Municipal Asylum late yesterday. Witnesses said he was injured before the encounter. Three individuals carved a symbol into his forehead with a blade. They placed him in a body bag while he was still breathing and carried him out. Two of the individuals are known criminal organization affiliates. Staff and law enforcement did not intervene.

The symbol matches markings reported in another incident this week near the Conjure district. The Sheriff's Office declined to comment. On Day 11 of the pattern tracked by this paper, the incident shows the Syndicate's reach inside municipal institutions extends beyond financial influence.

A department spokesperson said on condition of anonymity: 'Port Laveau has always had a way of dealing with those who forget their place. The wise ones remember that before they open their mouths.'
