In a shocking twist to the murder case of Jacksonville rapper Julio Fulio, Alicia Andrews, one of the accused, has emerged claiming she was manipulated into participating in the crime by her boyfriend, Shawn Gite, also known as Gaz. Andrews, 21, who has been charged with first-degree murder, now alleges she was a victim of an abusive relationship, attempting to flip the narrative in a case that has captivated the streets and the courts alike.

According to court documents, Andrews was part of a group that actively tracked Fulio on the night of his murder, following him from a gentlemen’s club to a hotel where the fatal shooting occurred. Surveillance footage and phone records paint a damning picture of her involvement, contradicting her claims of innocence and ignorance of the murder plot. Despite her assertions that she was merely out for a good time, evidence suggests a premeditated effort to ambush Fulio.

Now, in a dramatic court filing, Andrews’ defense team is arguing that her actions were not voluntary but coerced by Gite’s alleged physical and emotional abuse. They are calling for a deeper investigation into this relationship, claiming law enforcement failed to consider the power dynamics at play. However, critics are quick to question the timing of these claims, raising doubts about their authenticity.

As the prosecution prepares to challenge her narrative, they argue that Andrews had numerous opportunities to disengage from the situation but chose to remain involved. The stakes are high, with the potential for a life sentence looming over her. Meanwhile, Andrews’ legal team is also pointing fingers at others who were with Fulio that night, suggesting critical suspects were overlooked.

The courtroom drama is intensifying as both sides gear up for a battle over accountability, manipulation, and the blurred lines between victimhood and culpability. With her trial date approaching, the question remains: will Alicia Andrews succeed in shifting the blame, or will the evidence against her prove insurmountable? The world is watching as this gripping saga unfolds.
