What has recently gone viral over the internet is a shocking claim that rather surprisingly reveals that rapper Julio Foolio, reportedly shot to death on June 23, 2024, was recently spotted alive in Tampa, Florida. There is a circulated video showing a man donning the same outfit Foolio was last seen in on the day of his reported death walking about in Tampa. The sighting has left fans and the public incredulous, fueling further speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding his fate.
The clip, which went viral within moments, reportedly shows a man who looks exactly like Foolio, down to the real signature clothing. Many have already begun questioning the official narrative of the rapper’s death. Is it possible that Julio Foolio, whose real name was Charles Jones, somehow survived the brutal shooting that was said to have taken his life?

Adding to the mystery is Foolio’s social media activity after his reported death. His Instagram account posted a strange and eerie video at a time when many were expecting it to become a memorial page. The video is one in which he was “resurrected,” with the aid of some advanced AI technologies, superimposing his face in a photograph onto the body of WWE legend The Undertaker, who was famous for rising from the dead. Coming at a time when such advanced AI technology is common, the posting has only added to the increasingly emerging conspiracy theories that Foolio—even with the evidence—is faking his death.
These strange happenings have different opinions about it. Some believe the post is part of a marketing campaign to immortalize his memory, while others conclude that it vividly means the rapper is out there somewhere.
Knowing the facts of the case, it is first important to understand what occurred on June 23, 2024. Reports say Julio Foolio was shot dead in a North Tampa parking lot only two days after he had turned 26 years old. The attack left three other people injured and was completely captured by the surveillance footage. From those videos, there was a really chilling scene described: the gunman was lying in wait for Foolio; therefore, there was premeditation for the attack.
His death hit hard not only among members of the hip-hop community but also his fans. Foolio had been such a dominant force in the rap scene, known for his gritty lyrics combined with the ever-changing tides of turbulence throughout his life; his murder was considered another sad chapter in the growing saga of violence that seems to plague this industry.
Foolio’s death investigation is still underway, and some ground since four suspects have been arrested following the shooting of the five thought to be those involved. Some surprising pieces of evidence have been found out of those arrested, which lead the authorities to another purely motive of the management.
Even with this development, the claim that he may still be alive really introduces a new layer of mystery to this case. Now, the question is, was the man sighted in Tampa really Foolio, or probably a relative or merely his lookalike? Further comments from the police are yet to be received as fans wildly speculate.
