A Tampa jury found Alicia Andrews guilty of manslaughter in the 2024 death of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio. After an eight-day trial, the jury also found her not guilty of conspiracy to commit murder. The manslaughter conviction is a lesser charge than the first-degree murder count she was initially facing.
Alicia Andrews was found guilty of manslaughter rather than first-degree murder in the 2024 killing of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones. According to FOX 13 News, prosecutors said Andrews and her boyfriend, Isaiah Chance, drove from Jacksonville to Tampa with three others to target Foolio as part of an ongoing gang dispute. Investigators said Andrews helped track and follow the rapper, and that the group used her phone and vehicle to avoid police detection.
However, Andrews defense attorneys argued she did not know the murder plot, claiming she was only accompanying her boyfriend, whom she described as controlling and abusive. Andrews is the first of five suspects charged in Foolios death to face trial. The four co-defendants, Chance, Sean Gathright, Davion Murphy, and Rashad Murphy, are scheduled to stand trial next year. Andrews is expected to be sentenced Dec. 8.
Reaction to the verdict spread quickly across social media, with many users sharing mixed opinions.

Julio Foolio, born Charles Jones, was 26 when he was killed on June 23, 2024. He was in Tampa, Florida, celebrating his birthday weekend when he was shot. Authorities reportedly linked Foolios murder to a longstanding gang feud involving multiple Florida groups. In 2021, Foolio gained viral attention for a public feud with fellow Jacksonville rapper Yungeen Ace, with both artists releasing diss tracks aimed at each other. Foolios most popular track, When I See You, has amassed more than 69 million views on YouTube since its release four years ago.
