Watch the Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio Homicide Trial — State of Florida v. Alicia Andrews
The murder trial of defendant Alicia Andrews of rapper Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones is now in progress in Hillsborough County Court.
The state alleges that she worked as a lookout while the victim was celebrating his birthday. They claim she coordinated with others who later trapped the rapper in a Tampa hotel lot.
A group of armed men allegedly shot at Foolio’s vehicle, killing him and wounding multiple people.
Andrews is charged with capital murder and planning a murder.

This trial is being followed closely by court watchers because of the rapper’s large fanbase and ongoing feud rumors.
