TAMPA, FL. (July 29, 2024) -- Three subjects have been arrested in connection with the June 23 murder of Charles Jones aka “Julio Foolio”; two additional suspects are wanted. Watch the News Conference here. 21-year-old Alicia L. Andrews (black female, 2/9/2003)Charged with Pre-Meditated First-Degree Murder with a Firearm; Conspiracy to Commit Pre-Meditated First-Degree Murder with a Firearm21-year-old Isaiah J. Chance (black male, 11/20/2002)Charged with Pre-Meditated First-Degree Murder with a Firearm; Conspiracy to Commit Pre-Meditated First-Degree Murder with a Firearm18-year-old Sean A. Gathright (black male, 10/20/2005)Charged with Pre-Meditated First-Degree Murder with a Firearm (two counts); Attempted Pre-Meditated Murder in the First-Degree with a Firearm (three counts); Tampering with Physical Evidence.WANTED FOR MURDER:30-year-old Rashad Murphy (black male, 4/19/1994)27-year-old Davion Murphy (black male, 1/10/1997)Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the June 23rd murder of Charles Jones, also known as 'Julio Foolio,' in a targeted gang-related killing. While three are in custody, two remain at large. Tampa Police Department and Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office urge anyone that could assist with the location of Rashad Murphy and Davion Murphy to provide that information to investigators.Between June 21-23, 2024, Isaiah Chance, Alicia Andrews, Sean Gathright, Davion Murphy, and Rashad Murphy conspired to commit the first-degree premediated murder of Charles Jones also known as “Julio Foolio.” All five suspects traveled from Jacksonville to Tampa on June 22, 2024, in two separate vehicles to locate and kill Jones in retaliation for an ongoing Jacksonville rival gang feud. Detectives with the Tampa Police Department (TPD) and Jacksonville Sharrif's Office (JSO), working in close partnership, gathered evidence and developed leads to identify the parties involved in the murder and make the three arrests, with a continued focus on arresting the outstanding subjects.“The City of Tampa is not where you want to come to settle a dispute. You will be arrested, you will be charged, and you will be prosecuted. Our detectives remain committed to holding all those responsible accountable for their actions,” said Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw. “This case is a prime example of the cooperation and collaboration of all those in law enforcement to bring dangerous criminals to justice. We hope these arrests provide some closure for the victims’ families and loved ones.” “There’s no place you’ll be able to hide if you commit a crime in Jacksonville, or any other city in the state of Florida,” said Sheriff TK Waters, of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. “Today, three dangerous criminals are off our Florida streets and in police custody where they belong. We will always work with our law enforcement partners to ensure that our communities are free of those who choose violence over peace.”“These criminals decided to bring their fight to Hillsborough County. Let me be clear, the feud ends here,” said Hillsborough County State Attorney Suzy Lopez. “My office will vigorously prosecute each of these defendants to ensure they are held accountable for the calculated murder of Charles Jones.”On June 23, 2024, Isaiah Chance and Alicia Andrews tracked and followed the victim and his entourage to two separate locations. At each location they got out of their vehicle, and Chance used a cell phone. After the cell phone communication, a second suspect vehicle arrived at each location. Both vehicles then followed the victim and his entourage to the Home 2 Suites located at 11606 McKinley Dr., where the homicide occurred. At Homes 2 Suites, one vehicle drove by the victim’s parked vehicles twice and left, then three armed shooters exited a vehicle and began shooting at the victim’s vehicles killing Charles Jones and injuring three additional victims. Based on the investigation, the three shooters were identified as Rashad Murphy, Sean Gathright, and Davion Murphy. Charles Jones is documented by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office to be a “6 Block” gang member in Jacksonville. The 6 Block gang has a long ongoing feud with two other allied street gangs known as “ATK” and “1200”. Isaiah Chance is a documented ATK member. Rashad Murphy is a documented 1200 gang member, and Davion Murphy is a documented 1200 gang associate. The motive for this homicide is tied to an ongoing feud spanning years between Charles Jones’ 6 Block gang and two rival gangs, ATK and 1200 allied together. Iasiah Chance is a documented ATK gang member, and Rashad Murphy and Davion Murphy are documented 1200 gang members. The feud between 6 Block and its rival gangs ATK and 1200 has spanned over a decade with dozens of murders by and against both sides. It was apparent the suspects worked together acting in concert to actively hunt, and ultimately kill, Charles Jones as a part of this gang feud. On the afternoon of June 27, 2024, the JSO SWAT team arrested Andrews and Chance at a residence, and arrested Gathright at a local Jacksonville shopping center. The arrests were made without incident. They were transported to Duval County Jail, where they remain in custody.Anyone with information that could assist in this ongoing investigation is asked to call the Tampa Police Department at 813.231.6130, or contact Crimestoppers of Tampa Bay at 800.873.TIPS.

"This is a heinous crime.

She was transported to Orient Road Jail. Joseph’s siblings were united with their biological fathers, who did not reside at the home.If you suspect a child is being abused: Report it immediately.

Remember!!! Every body of water has a gator in it…PERIOD!

Alligators are known for their impressive, swimming and hunting abilities, but did you know that they are also skilled climbers? Yes, it’s true! Alligators have been spotty climb fences, in search of prey, or to explore their surroundings. But I bet you’ve never seen an alligator do this!

Always remember that just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean that ghey are not in the water. This guy surfaced not too far from where i was filming!

Taking in some nice scenery as i bike along the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The views are absolutely gorgeous.

How can you tell if there is an alligator in the water or not in Florida. This is a simple trip that everyone should know. But please keep in mind that this is not a proven method of determining if theyis an alligator in the water. One should know that every body of water has a gator in it.
