Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio shot, killed in Tampa ‘ambush’: attorney
TAMPA, Fla. – Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio was shot and killed in Tampa early Sunday, his attorney Lewis Fusco confirmed with News4JAX.
Charles Jones, who went by the rap name of “Julio Foolio,” was celebrating his 26th birthday, which was Friday, and staying at an Airbnb, according to Fusco.
Fusco said that too many people were in the Airbnb where they were celebrating and that they had to leave. In an Instagram story, the rapper said police shut the pool party down and “kicked” them out of the Airbnb. Numerous posts on his social media advertised the location of the event.
