Information about shootings in the USA no longer surprises anyone. The apathy is caused by the number of firearm attacks that take place in the United States of America. On social media, there are profiles that present daily statistics about shootings. This repeatedly sparks discussions about access to guns and what drives people to pull the trigger.

26-year-old rapper Charles Jones, Julio Foolio, is a famous American artist. The man’s profile on Instagram is followed by over a million people. The artist decided to celebrate his birthday in Tampa, Florida, USA. Foolio rented a house on Airbnb for this purpose, but the number of guests exceeded the agreement, which led to police intervention on-site. After the officers arrived, Julio Foolio went to the Holiday Inn hotel, where the tragedy occurred. Sunday, June 23rd, Tampa police received information about a shooting in the parking lot of the Holiday Inn Tampa North hotel. An unknown perpetrator had shot at two cars. As a result of the shooting, three people were injured and required hospitalization. The fatal bullet hit Julio Foolio, which was confirmed by the man’s lawyer. Currently, the search for the rapper’s murderer continues.

Lewis Fusco, the lawyer representing Julio Foolio, made an official statement. The document stated: "It is with deep sadness that we confirm Mr. Jones passed away early this morning. Mr. Jones had been in Tampa to celebrate his birthday over the weekend. Law enforcement reports indicate that he initially stayed at an Airbnb but was asked to leave due to exceeding occupancy limits. He subsequently relocated to the Holiday Inn, where he was involved in an incident in the hotel parking lot and reportedly ambushed".
