A Tampa jury found Alicia Andrews guilty of manslaughter in the killing of Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones.
She was acquitted of conspiracy to commit murder.
Prosecutors said Andrews helped her boyfriend, Isaiah Chance, and three others track Foolio before he was ambushed outside a Tampa hotel in 2023.
They claimed she used her phone and car to help the group follow him as he celebrated his birthday.
Alicia Andrews, the 22-year-old woman accused of helping to plan Foolio’s murder in 2024, has been found guilty of manslaughter in the rapper’s death.

Andrews took the stand, insisting she thought she was simply going on a trip with Chance, whom she described as controlling and abusive. Her defense argued she had no idea the others planned to harm the rapper.
“Just because she was around people with bad intentions doesn’t mean she shared them,” said her attorney, Life Malcolm, who characterized her as a bystander caught in a violent situation.
Foolio’s death was part of an ongoing gang feud stretching from Jacksonville to Tampa. Andrews will be sentenced on December 8, while her co-defendants, Chance, Sean Gaithright, Davion Murphy, and Rashad Murphy, are set to stand trial next year.
