Rapper Julio Foolio shot dead in Florida, lawyer says

Florida rapper Julio Foolio has been killed in a shooting in Tampa, his lawyer says.

Police said four people were hit with gunfire in a hotel car park early on Sunday. One person died, whom they believed to be Foolio pending a medical examination.

The 26-year-old victim, whose legal name was Charles Jones, was identified in a statement by a law firm that represented him.

Foolio had been celebrating his birthday when the incident occurred, said the lawyer, Lewis Fusco.

The musician was "reportedly ambushed" in the hotel car park, Mr Fusco said in a statement, quoted by a local affiliate of the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

He had been forced to relocate after being asked by authorities to leave an Airbnb property when he and his guests exceeded occupancy limits.

The rapper had been posting material to his Instagram account about the celebrations, writing that police had "shut us down".

Two cars were hit in the shooting that took place at about 04:40 EDT (09:40 BST), police said. The three others who were injured were taken to hospital, where their condition was described as stable.

Foolio has nearly a million monthly listeners on Spotify, where his top-played track is Voo Doo.

As recently as April, he wrote in an Instagram post that recent months had been "tragic", citing "multiple attempts on my life".

He is said to have been open about his gang affiliations, according to local media.

Police have urged the public to provide any information that may help them with their investigation.

He spent time dissing dead opps. What did he expect? When will akatas break off the cycle? US-born blacks keep acting a fool while children of black immigrants profit off their idiocy.

Before opening the thread, I knew it will be a black guy, good riddance.

R.i.p foolio knew he was going to die soon. Bro was already tired of life. How will you leak your location on live. The idiot already got shot on his leg earlier this year

Yungeen Ace also lost his own brothers too. It was a crazy war. Both sides will lose eventually it's a matter of time

It's sad seeing rappers dieing at a young age due to gun violence.

America and South Africa are the only two countries in the world I fear to live.

“Never drop your dot, that’s how you get shot!”

Normal thing. After killing themselves, they will come out and start screaming black lives matters

Na normal thing na .

So why posting it as something strange

BIRTHDAYS ARE DEATH DAYS

KEEP CELEBRATING

HE LOOKS DEAD ALREADY WITH THAT HAIR STYLE

Gun violence in America

Majority of all these black American singers with gangster lifestyle..

When you have made money, the best thing to do is to leave the bad lifestyle, but they prefer to now venture fully in it..

Infact majority of them sees prison as nothing, is like a comfortable home to them, compare to where they live..

RIP

this people and Northern Nigeria not much of a different

both attach little important to life

Gun violence

They never learn

They are always displaying their present location as if it was some sort of showoff

SERVES HIM RIGHT

Another fool dead, all this Gen Z gangsta can't go 3dacades in
Oblock,
