*A new video reveals the harrowing moments before Florida rapper Julio Foolio was ambushed and killed by gunmen outside a Tampa, Florida hotel. The incident, which occurred on June 23, just two days after the Jacksonville, FL native’s 26th birthday, left Foolio dead and three others injured.
The surveillance footage from the shared parking lot of a Hilton and a Holiday Inn shows the masked gunman waiting for Foolio’s black car. Foolio had been celebrating with friends, moving from an Airbnb to the hotel, a move he documented on his Instagram shortly before the shooting.
The video captures the gunman, armed with what appears to be a semi-automatic rifle, sprinting through the parking lot at 4:37 AM. He begins firing at Foolio’s car, which desperately tries to escape by speeding around a corner but hits a curb in the process. Other gunmen can be seen in the distance, indicating a coordinated attack, TMZ reports.
The shooter fired from point-blank range, and Foolio was killed in the attack. Three other individuals in the vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and the suspects managed to escape the scene.

Following the tragic event, Foolio’s mother released a statement acknowledging her son’s lifestyle but promising to release a documentary about his life. Despite his death, Foolio’s Instagram account remains active, featuring a bizarre resurrection video that uses AI to place his face on WWE Undertaker’s body.
The Tampa Police Department has stated that there are no new updates on their active investigation to apprehend the shooter. The community and fans of Julio Foolio are left mourning the loss of the young rapper, whose life was cut short in a brutal and senseless act of violence.
