Overview
- A Hillsborough County judge formally sentenced Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright, Rashad Murphy and Davion Murphy to life in prison without parole on Monday, June 22, 2026, after their convictions for first‑degree murder.
- Prosecutors told jurors the June 23, 2024 ambush in a Tampa hotel parking lot was a planned attack in which three gunmen fired about 31 rounds into Charles “Julio Foolio” Jones’s car, killing the 26‑year‑old and wounding three others.
- Authorities linked the killing to a long‑running Jacksonville feud between crews tied to 6Block, ATK (Ace’s Top Killers) and 1200, arguing diss tracks and retaliatory street violence helped drive the attack.
- Sentencing records show the Murphys received additional life terms for conspiracy and attempted‑murder counts while Gathright received multi‑decade terms on related charges, and all counts will keep them imprisoned for life.
- A fifth defendant, Alicia Andrews, was separately convicted of manslaughter and given a 15‑year term on May 22, 2026, and her attorneys have filed appeals while prosecutors have lodged motions challenging aspects of that outcome.
