Rapper Julio Foolio shot and killed in Florida two days after 26th birthday

Up-and-coming rapper Julio Foolio was shot and killed in Florida on Sunday after celebrating his 26th birthday.

Foolio — born Charles Jones — died early Sunday after he was allegedly “ambushed” in the parking lot of a Holiday Inn hotel in Tampa, his attorney, Lewis Fusco, said according to a press release obtained by Pvnew.

Per Fusco, his client went to the hotel after police shut down a pool party he was hosting at his rented Airbnb.

Fusco told News4JAX that several people were staying with Foolio — whose birthday was on Friday — for a weekend’s worth of activities.

On Saturday, the “When I See You” hitmaker advertised the 5 p.m. pool party on his Instagram Story, saying, “If you already got the address, pull up.”

He followed up with a video showing himself and a group of friends drinking out of red solo and styrofoam cups.

Foolio also shared a clip of a small group of about 20 people gathered in the living room of the Airbnb while thanking them for coming to celebrate him.
