Five Charged in Rapper Julio Foolio's Murder

Five suspects, Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, Alicia Andrews, Rashad Murphy, and Davion Murphy, have been implicated in the murder of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones, Jr. The suspects allegedly tracked Jones from Jacksonville to Tampa, following him to two strip clubs before ambushing and killing him at a hotel near the University of South Florida during his birthday celebration. The murder is tied to ongoing gang feuds, with Jones being a member of the 6 Block gang, while the suspects are affiliated with rival gangs such as ATK and 1200. Surveillance video, digital evidence, and ballistic analysis have linked the suspects to the crime, with prosecutors asserting that each played a role in the coordinated attack. The suspects are being held without bond until trial due to the danger they pose to the community. Rashad Murphy and Davion Murphy are specifically noted for their previous attempts on Jones' life, further highlighting the violent gang rivalry.
