The “Voo Doo” rapper was reportedly staying at a local Holiday Inn in Tampa after being kicked out of an Airbnb . Per social media posts, he had been celebrating his 26th birthday that evening, and his attorney Lewis Fusco claims that he was “ambushed.” Foolio advertised the party on his Instagram stories and publicly shared the address.

“Mr. Jones had been in Tampa to celebrate his birthday over the weekend,” Fusco said in a statement. “Law enforcement reports indicate that he initially stayed at an Airbnb but was asked to leave due to exceeding occupancy limits. He subsequently relocated to the Holiday Inn, where he was involved in an incident in the hotel parking lot and reportedly ambushed.”

As of Sunday afternoon, no suspects were arrested for Julio Foolio’s killing. Officials were reportedly reviewing surveillance footage from the hotel.

Julio Foolio was reportedly a known member of KTA, a gang in Jacksonville with known rivalries with other gangs. His cousin and three other young men were killed in a gang-related shooting in 2018. In 2021, someone attempted to shoot Foolio but he was only grazed by the bullet. “Y’all miss a whole 100 shots literally,” he said at the time.

Foolio released his latest album Resurrection back in April. The 14-song effort featured Wam SpinThaBin, Omerta55, KreepOsama, Fliposama, and KennyKaps. His album titles focused on mortality often, as his 2023 LP was called Final Destination .
