Investigators claim Foolio’s death was the result of retaliation in an “ongoing Jacksonville gang war.”

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A suspect charged in Jacksonville rapper Foolio’s murder had her trial pushed back to August after it was set to begin on Monday.

The suspects who have been charged with first-degree murder include Isaiah Chance, 21, Alicia Andrews, 21, Sean Gathright, 18, and Rashad Murphy, 30. Police are still looking to arrest Rashad’s brother, Davion Murphy, who is accused of being one of three shooters in the murder along with Gathright and Rashad.

After failing to waive her right to a speedy trial in September, Andrews’ trial was slated to begin Monday, Jan. 6. However, in a pretrial hearing on Friday, a judge granted a new motion to waive the right to a speedy trial. Her new trial date has been set for Aug. 18. 

Foolio, whose real name is Charles Jones, was 26 years old when he was shot and killed while celebrating his birthday at a hotel in Tampa on June 23. Three others were wounded in the shooting as well. The rapper’s attorney told First Coast News shortly after the incident that Jones was “ambushed.”

Investigators claim Jones’ death was the result of retaliation in an “ongoing Jacksonville gang war.” All of the suspects are documented gang members of ATK and 1200, both of which have been involved in a decades-long feud between Foolio’s gang, “6 Block.” The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in December 2022 that ATK stands for “Ace’s Top Killers.”

Back in September, Andrews’ attorney made it known to the courtroom that Andrews is pregnant, with a due date of Feb. 16.
