Fifth Foolio Murder Suspect Still on the Run for Two Months
One of Foolio‘s murder suspects has been on the run for almost two months, with no updates yet on where he’s at or how close investigators are to finding him.
One of Foolio’s Alleged Murderers Remains On the Run
As of Monday (Sept. 16), one of Foolio’s murder suspects Davion Murphy remains missing and on the run. Back in July, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced they had arrested Rashad Murphy, Davion’s cousin, and one of the five people currently being charged with the Foolio’s death. Davion surrendered after a dramatic stand-off with police in a Jacksonville apartment complex that was caught on bodycam.
According to police, Rashad Murphy and Davion Murphy are documented members of Ace’s Top Killers, a Jacksonville gang rivaled with the Six Block Gang. Police claim Julio was a Six Block member. Police claim that in surveillance footage released on July 30, Rashad can be seen wielding an automatic handgun and shooting at Foolio’s car alongside suspect Sean Gathright. Police say Davion Murphy was wearing an orange ski mask and was seen firing at the car with a rifle from further away.
Along with a video of the arrest, JSO released the following statement.
“Overnight, your Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and U.S. Marshals Service tracked Rashad Murphy, 30, to an apartment complex off Collins Road,” the statement reads. “He was wanted for murder in the Tampa shooting death of Charles Jones, also known as Julio Foolio, last month. JSO CPR, Gang, and SWAT units surrounded the unit and helped evacuate nearby residents. 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.”
XXL has reached out to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office for an update on the investigation.
