Police have arrested a fourth suspect, 30-year-old Rashad Murphy, in the killing of Foolio. The update comes following the announcement of the arrests of three previous suspects on Monday morning. Foolio was shot and killed in Tampa, Florida while celebrating his 26th birthday.
In a statement put out by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office on social media, they revealed that they tracked Murphy to an apartment complex on Monday night. "JSO CPR, Gang, and SWAT units surrounded the unit and helped evacuate nearby residents," the statement explained. "After hours of negotiators attempting to talk Murphy out, with assistance from patrol and the UAS Unit, SWAT operators used tactics to force the man out. Murphy surrendered just after midnight." Police are still looking for a fifth suspect they believe to have been involved in the shooting. “There’s no place you’ll be able to hide if you commit crime in Jacksonville or any other city in the state of Florida,” said Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters.
Police Arrest 4th Suspect
Foolio was murdered on June 23. He was staying at an Airbnb before being asked to leave due to exceeding occupancy limits. He ended up seeking a room at a nearby Holiday Inn when he was ambushed by a group of gunmen. Foolio had shared that he was in Tampa on his Instagram page prior to the attack.
Police Announce Initial Arrests
In addition to announcing arrests in the killing, police also shared security camera footage from the incident on Monday. The clips of the attack have been going viral for how detailed and clear they are. DJ Akademiks, for one, was in awe at the videos. "They got the clearest Surveillance footage I've ever seen in Foolio case," Akademiks wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday afternoon. "N****s this aint even 4K.. n***a this 16K… I watched movies in iMAX that didn't have this quality. n***a im seeing the bullets leave each gun. I'm seeing their heart beat through their shirt. Crazy." Be on the lookout for further updates on the investigation into Foolio's murder on HotNewHipHop.
