Watch the Charles “Julio Foolio” Jones Murder Case — Florida vs. Alicia Andrews
The Florida trial of the woman accused of helping plan the murder of rapper Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones is now in progress in a Tampa courtroom.
Prosecutors say that she worked as a lookout while the victim celebrated his birthday. They claim she coordinated with others who later trapped the rapper in a Tampa hotel lot.
Three gunmen allegedly fired dozens of rounds, taking his life and wounding multiple people.
She faces charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Detectives have presented digital evidence that they say tie Andrews to the scene. This Julio Foolio live trial includes location tracking data and videos recovered from her online accounts.
Andrews’ lawyer argues that she didn’t know what the others intended to do. The defense says she was in Tampa for personal reasons.
The case is being watched closely by fans of the late rapper because of the rapper’s large fanbase and ongoing feud rumors.
Day 6 of the trial has focused on digital forensics, with forensic experts explaining how they tracked cell phone activity across Florida.
