Jacksonville, Florida, rapper Foolio, whose real name is Charles Jones, was shot and killed Sunday morning in Tampa, his lawyer confirmed.
Police were called to a hotel in uptown Tampa a few hours before sunrise, having received reports of a shooting at the address. Upon arriving at the scene, they found two vehicles that had been shot at in the parking lot.
One person, now identified as Jones, was pronounced dead, according to the Tampa Police Department. Three additional victims are in stable condition and being treated at the hospital.
Police said officers are still investigating the motive for the shooting and working to identify individuals involved.
Jones was celebrating his birthday the night of his fatal shooting, according to footage he posted on his Instagram story. The 26-year-old rapper, who had 1 million followers on the platform, shared a video advertising a pool party Saturday evening. He told his followers to direct-message him for the address.
Later that night, he posted that police had “shut us down and kicked us out” of their Airbnb.

I’m starting to get the impression that being a “rapper” carries with it some real occupational hazards.

And what’s with the Medusa-like hairstyles?
You have to give him some credit, not everybody can make a hairpiece out of dried dog turds.
I was wondering that as well.
It looks horrible. I don’t see why anyone thinks that’s attractive or desirable.

cRapper.
Death by natural causes.
Not foolio!
...he had so much to teach us.
At first I thought it said Coolio
Social media is destroying this country. Shut off the phone service of these low-life thugs and they would get their crap together. Or just cut them a check and have them resettle Liberia. I’m so sick of this. We need to separate.
His eyes don’t match.
Shelley was 29 when he died; Keats 25. No doubt Foolio will be similarly be mourned for having been stolen from the world far too soon.
Nobody can report on this because after seeing Medusa hair they all turned to stone.
I pity the Foolio

He had a bit of a “Sideshow Bob” look going, didn’t he?
He Foolio’d Around and Found Out.
