Tampa Jury Convicts Four in Jacksonville Rappers Murder: A Birthday Ambush A Tampa jury found four men guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of Jacksonville rapper Foolio on his birthday. The men, Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, Rashad Murphy, and Davion Murphy, were convicted after a trial that revealed a planned hit, using texts, phone records, and social media to track Foolios movements. The murder was part of Jacksonvilles gang wars, with Foolio representing 6Block or KTA against rivals like ATK and twelve hundred. Witnesses testified to the chaos, with bullets flying and hitting bystanders. The defense argued the evidence was shaky, but the jury convicted. The men now face life without parole or the death penalty. A fifth suspect, Alicia Andrews, was convicted of manslaughter and is awaiting sentencing.
