Timeline of Foolio's Murder

Prosecutors reportedly claim in court documents that Isaiah Chance and his girlfriend, Alicia Andrews, allegedly served as lookouts as they closely watched Foolio and his entourage visit various clubs in the Tampa Bay area. On the night of the shooting, Foolio was celebrating his 26th birthday. The other three suspects, Sean Gathright, Rashad and Davion Murphy, were in another car that was left behind.

The murder:

On the night of the shoot, Foolio and his entourage party at Teasers Gentlemen's Club in Tampa.
On June 23, at 2:23 a.m., Chance and Andrews are seen on surveillance footage getting out of their car, a Chevrolet Cruze, and walking around the club. Chance is talking on his cell phone (according to prosecutors, Chance was talking to Gathright). Soon after, a Chevrolet Impala pulls up with Gathright, Rashad and Davion Murphy inside.
Just before 3 a.m., Foolio and his crew leave Teasers and drive to an after-party at Truth 18 Lounge in Tampa, which was advertised on social media. Foolio also streamed live from the site.
Chance and Andrews arrive at Truth 18 in their car. Chance is talking on his cell phone.
At 4 a.m., Fulio leaves Truth 18 in a black Dodge Charger with his entourage following him in a three-car convoy to a hotel. Chance and Andrews in The Cruze and Gathright, Rashad and Davion Murphy in the Impalas follow close behind.
At 4.30am, the Impala pulls into the car park and drives around the hotel to avoid the victims' line of sight. Three minutes later, the Cruze vehicle also arrives in the parking lot, passing the parked Charger before performing a U-turn and passing the car again before exiting the parking lot.
A minute later, three men in hoods and masks get out of the parked Impala and start walking toward Foolio's Dodge Charger. One person was holding a pistol with a magazine, while the other two gunmen were holding assault rifles. The long guns had black mesh pouches attached to them, designed to catch spent bullet casings after they were ejected from the weapon.
The man with the gun aimed it at the windshield of the Charger and fired over 30 shots. The men with rifles started shooting at the charger and another car nearby.
In his Charger, Foolio sped forward, heading north through the parking lot as shots rained down on the vehicle. The three gunmen then retreated into their Impala and sped away.

Fulio was shot dead, while three people in the vehicle were injured.

What did the police discover?

The Research:

The Impala was registered to Gathright, while the Cruze was owned by a woman who resided at an address associated with Rashad Murphy's brother.
Authorities found the Cruze at the home of one of Gathright's relatives, where they learned he had driven the car there the day of the shooting and had been seen cleaning the interior of the car.
Investigators searching Guthright's Jacksonville home found two 9mm bullet casings that police matched to Fulio's murder. However, the gun was not found.
Detectives found nine spent rifle casings in Gathright's vehicle during the traffic stop. The rifle casings matched two separate shootings that occurred before Fulio's death: a shooting last October that was reportedly an attempted murder of Fulio and a separate homicide in May.
Rashad Murphy booked an Airbnb in Tampa before filming.
Several days after the shooting, Rashad Murphy was arrested by deputies in Atlanta after fleeing a traffic stop and charged with obstruction. The car he was driving, a silver Chevrolet Cruze, matched the description of the vehicle involved in the shooting.
On July 29, Rashad Murphy was arrested for murder after a standoff with Jacksonville deputies.
Rashad Murphy is currently in custody in Jacksonville awaiting transfer to Tampa.

Court appearances

Three suspects—Isaiah Chance, Sean Gathright and Alicia Andrews—will remain jailed pending trial, according to the State Attorney's Office for the 13th Judicial Circuit on Aug. 8. They have each pleaded not guilty.
