Florida rapper Julio Foolio killed
Florida rapper Julio Foolio, real name Charles Jones, was killed in a shooting in Tampa, Florida. The incident happened shortly after he turned 26, and it also injured three others who are now recovering in the hospital.
The incident happened on Sunday, only two days after he turned 26.
Jones was staying at a Holiday Inn in Tampa after he was told to leave an Airbnb where he was partying. His lawyer, Lewis Fusco, said that the rapper was unexpectedly attacked in the hotel parking lot, as reported by the weeklywakeup.
Police said someone was killed by shooting and they are watching video, but they have not arrested anyone.
Before the shooting, Jones posted on Instagram about his birthday party at a pool in an Airbnb.
Rapper Julio Foolio had more than 1 million followers on Instagram.
The party, which was promoted a lot on social media, had the police come because Jones was told to leave. Fusco said Jones first stayed at the Airbnb but had to move because too many people were there.

Jones and three other people were sitting in their cars at the Holiday Inn parking lot when unknown attackers started shooting, according to the weeklywakeup.
Julio Foolio was part of a gang called KTA in Jacksonville. This gang has had a longstanding fight with other gangs in the area.
In 2018, a shooting at a birthday party for Jones’ brother, which was connected to a gang, led to the deaths of Jones’ cousin and three teenagers.
In 2021, Jones narrowly escaped death when someone shot at him in his recording studio in Jacksonville, but the bullet only grazed him.
After the incident, Jones mocked the people who shot at him on Instagram, saying, “You missed a hundred shots, seriously.”
Police are still investigating the recent shooting. They’re trying to find and catch the people who killed Jones.
