Timeline: Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio killed while celebrating birthday in Tampa
TAMPA, Fla. - A Jacksonville rapper was shot and killed in Tampa two days after his 26th birthday last month.
Four suspects involved in the murder of Charles Jones, also known by his stage name Julio Foolio, have been arrested, and one man is still on the run, according to investigators.
Who is Julio Foolio?
The Jacksonville rapper was an independent artist, according to his Instagram bio. Some of his music, which has 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify, features violent lyrics and some songs are about actual murders.
Jones was known for feuding with other artists, specifically Yungeen Ace, and being involved in a deadly gang beef.
Jones was a part of the 6 Block Gang, according to Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw. TPD said the feud between 6 Block and its rival gangs ATK and 1200 has spanned over a decade with dozens of murders by and against both sides.
Where was Julio Foolio killed?
Jones was in Tampa celebrating his birthday when he was murdered. He posted about his birthday celebration on Instagram before he was ambushed by shooters.
"Tampa Florida you already got added to the pool party," he said in an Instagram video.
He posted later on the night of Saturday, June 22, that police kicked him and his entourage out of an Airbnb. So he moved the party to a new location.
"Lit everywhere we go," he said on another Instagram story.
