Charles Jones, known professionally as Julio Foolio, was fatally shot in the early hours of Sunday, June 23, 2024, in Tampa, Florida. Jones, who had turned 26 on June 21, was celebrating his birthday; the gathering began at an Airbnb but was moved to the Holiday Inn Tampa North at 11606 McKinley Drive after police were called for overcrowding.

Around 4:40 a.m. in the hotel parking lot three shooters reportedly exited a vehicle and opened fire with a handgun and two rifles. The attack killed Jones and wounded three others, later described as in stable condition. Investigators say the shooting was linked to a long-running feud involving Jones’ 6 Block Gang and rival groups ATK and 1200, and that suspects had tracked Jones from the Airbnb to the hotel using surveillance, license-plate readers and phone logs.

Authorities identified Isaiah Chance and Alicia Andrews as the individuals who tracked Jones, and named Rashad Murphy, Davion Murphy and Sean Gathright as the shooters. Four people have been arrested — Isaiah Chance, 21; Alicia Andrews, 21; Sean Gathright, 18; and Rashad Murphy, 30 — while Davion Murphy, 27, remains at large with a warrant. All face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. Anyone with information is urged to come forward.
