LIVE the Charles “Julio Foolio” Jones Murder Court Proceedings — State of Florida v. Alicia Andrews
The court case of defendant Alicia Andrews of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio is now in progress in a Tampa courtroom.
The state alleges that she worked as a lookout while Charles Jones was in Tampa for his birthday. They claim she coordinated with others who later cornered the rapper in a Tampa hotel lot.
Multiple shooters allegedly opened fire, killing him and wounding multiple people.
The defendant has been charged with premeditated murder and planning a murder.
Detectives have presented cell phone data that they say tie Andrews to the scene. This includes deleted texts and social media posts recovered from her phone.
Andrews’ lawyer argues that she didn’t know what the others intended to do. The defense says she was not involved in any Julio Foolio live trial plot.
This trial is being followed closely by the media because of the rapper’s large fanbase and ongoing feud rumors.
Current testimony has focused on phone evidence, with investigators explaining how they connected messages to the planning.
