Follow the Julio Foolio Shooting Trial — State of Florida v. Alicia Andrews

The court case of the woman accused of helping plan the murder of Florida rapper Julio Foolio is now being heard in Hillsborough County Court.

The state alleges that Andrews acted as a lookout while the victim was celebrating his birthday. They claim she coordinated with others who later cornered the rapper in a Tampa hotel lot.

Three gunmen allegedly fired dozens of rounds, killing him and wounding multiple people.

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

Prosecutors have presented cell phone data that they say tie Andrews to the scene. This includes deleted texts and FL v. Alicia Andrews videos recovered from her phone.

The defense argues that she had no idea about the murder plan. They claim she was just on a trip with her boyfriend.

The case is being followed closely by the media because the killing is linked to gang tensions.

This phase of the trial has focused on police testimony, with detectives explaining how they connected messages to the planning.
