Follow the Julio Foolio Homicide Trial — FL v. Alicia Andrews

The murder trial of the woman accused of helping plan the murder of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio is now in progress in Tampa, Florida.

Prosecutors say that she worked as a lookout while Charles Jones was in Tampa for his birthday. They claim she kept tabs with others who later cornered the rapper in a hotel parking lot.

Three gunmen allegedly fired dozens of rounds, taking his life and leaving three others hurt.

She faces charges of first-degree murder and planning a murder.

Prosecutors have presented forensic phone records that they say tie Andrews to the scene. This includes location tracking data and photos recovered from her iCloud.

The Julio Foolio live trial defense argues that she was unaware of the shooting. The defense says she was not involved in any plot.

This trial is being covered closely by the media because the killing is linked to gang tensions.

This phase of the trial has focused on phone evidence, with investigators explaining how they traced Andrews’ movements.
