The murder case surrounding Jacksonville rapper Foolio continues to bring emotional moments in court, and now his mother, Sandrikas Mays, is speaking out after one of the people connected to the case received her sentence.
According to reports, Alicia Andrews was sentenced to 15 years after being convicted on a manslaughter charge connected to Foolio’s death. Judge Kimberly Fernandez reportedly denied Andrews’ attempt to appeal the conviction before handing down the sentence on Friday, May 22, 2026.
During the court hearing, Foolio’s mother gave a powerful victim impact statement. Mays said her son was “hunted, followed and ultimately murdered,” describing the killing as a planned attack involving multiple people. She also pushed back against the idea that Andrews did not understand what was happening, saying those involved had the chance to stop but continued forward.
Andrews’ conviction is reportedly tied to claims that she helped track Foolio’s location and passed that information along to the people accused in the killing. The case has been one of the most closely watched in hip-hop, especially because Foolio’s death came after years of public tension and street-related conflict connected to Jacksonville’s rap scene.
Four men — Isaiah Chance, Rashad Murphy, Davion Murphy, and Sean Gathright — were convicted in connection with Foolio’s murder. A jury has recommended life sentences for the heavier charges, and they are expected to learn their official sentencing on June 22, 2026.
Mays has also made serious claims about Sean Gathright, alleging that he may be connected to other killings in Florida. According to the report, she claimed on Instagram Live that bullet casings from Foolio’s case matched forensic evidence from other murder cases.
For Foolio’s family, the sentencing is another step toward justice, but the pain is clearly still heavy. His mother made it clear that her son’s life mattered and that he was not disposable.
As the remaining defendants wait for sentencing, the case remains a painful reminder of how deep street violence, rap beef, and real-life consequences can go.
