After Foolio’s death, aspiring rapper Youngeen Ace shared his new song, titled “Game Over,” which many believe is a Foolio diss track.
There are rumors that Ace paid for the hit on Foolio. Ace has not been charged.
Tampa police announced the 3 arrests on Monday, July 29.
“Today’s announcement would not be possible without the outstanding investigative work of our homicide detectives and with the assistance of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the ATF,” said Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw.
Chief Bercaw said the suspects took extreme measures to cover their actions, “But they were no match for our investigators.”
Police are looking for 2 other suspects in the murder.
