Alicia Andrews will serve 15 years in prison for her role in the murder of Jacksonville, Florida rapper Julio Foolio.
Andrews, 23, faced charges of first-degree murder, but a jury found her guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter in October 2025.
On Friday, May 22, a judge sentenced her to 15 years of hard time in prison for texting Foolio’s location to the killers.
On May 13, a Tampa jury sentenced Sean Gathright, Isaiah Chance, and brothers Rashad Murphy and Davion Murphy to life in prison without parole.
Rapper Julio Foolio, born Charles Jones II, was shot and killed while celebrating his birthday at a Tampa hotel on June 23, 2024.
Gathright, 20, Chance, 23, Rashad Murphy, 32, and Davion Murphy, 29, drove from Jacksonville to Tampa, where they ambushed and killed Foolio in the hotel parking lot.

Andrews frequently smiled at the judge and jurors during her trial. After her conviction in 2025, she had the presiding judge removed from her case.
Her defense lawyers argued on appeal that Judge Michelle Sisco “exhibited overt hostility toward the defense” during the trial.
Andrews, who dated Chance, admitted to traveling with the gunmen from Jacksonville to Tampa, but she denied knowing about the murder plot.
She was seen in the background of videos inside the hotel room where Foolio celebrated his birthday the night he was killed.
“My son was hunted, followed and ultimately murdered in what authorities described as a coordinated plot involving multiple individuals. It is extremely painful to hear Alicia Andrews portray herself as someone who didn’t know what was going on,” Foolio’s mother, Sandrikas Mays, said at Friday‘s sentencing hearing.
“They could have turned around, but they still carried on the plan to hunt my son down like a deer in the woods… My son’s life mattered. He was not disposable.”
