Julio Foolio Autopsy and Ballistics: What Crime Scene Evidence Revealed About the Attack
By Elena Rostova
The violence in Tampa did not emerge in a vacuum. Charles Jones II spent nearly a decade at the epicenter of a bloody conflict pitting Jacksonville’s 6 Block group against rival coalitions known as ATK and 1200. The rivalry played out across streaming services, where viral drill tracks explicitly cataloged real-world casualties. Jones had already survived multiple assassination attempts, including a 2020 shooting in Jacksonville and a severe foot wound from rifle fire in October 2023.
Those near-misses created an aura of invulnerability around Jones, one he frequently leaned into online. Yet the feud was steadily escalating in sophistication. Rival factions had begun utilizing rented vehicles, burner phones, and cross-county surveillance teams to track targets. When Jones posted open invitations on Instagram detailing pool parties and club appearances in Tampa for his 26th birthday weekend, his rivals mobilized across Florida to execute a long-planned hit.
