Woman Sentenced to 15 Years in Killing of Jacksonville Rapper Julio Foolio
The judge rejected Andrews’ bid for a new trial and said the evidence showed she helped track the rapper before the fatal shooting.
- On Friday, Alicia Andrews was sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in the 2024 killing of Florida rapper Charles Jones, known as Julio Foolio, following her manslaughter conviction last October.
- Prosecutors allege Andrews helped her boyfriend, Isaiah Chance, and three other men track Jones from Jacksonville to Tampa nightclubs before shooting him near the University of South Florida in June 2024.
- During sentencing, the state argued the facts were "egregious," while defense attorneys claimed Andrews was a "minor" accomplice; Sandrikas Mays, Jones' mother, said the group "carried on the plan to hunt my son down like a deer."
- Earlier this month, jurors found co-defendants Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, Rashad Murphy, and Davion Murphy guilty of first-degree murder; the four men face life in prison after separate trials from Andrews.
- Judge Kimberly Fernandez denied the defense's motion for a new trial, rejecting arguments about errors by Judge Michelle Sisco, while Andrews plans to appeal the conviction.
