Watch the Charles “Julio Foolio” Jones Murder Case — Florida vs. Alicia Andrews

The Florida trial of Alicia Andrews of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio is now underway in Hillsborough County Court.

The state alleges that she worked as a lookout while Foolio was in Tampa for his birthday. They claim she kept tabs with others who later ambushed the rapper in a Tampa hotel lot.

A group of armed men allegedly opened fire, killing him and wounding multiple people.

She faces charges of first-degree murder and murder conspiracy.

Prosecutors have presented forensic phone records that they say connect her to the crime. This includes deleted texts and social media posts recovered from her phone.

Her defense attorney 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 followed closely by court watchers because the killing is linked to gang tensions.

Current testimony has focused on police testimony, with forensic experts explaining how they connected Julio Foolio courtroom messages to the planning.
