The state alleges that Andrews acted as a lookout while Charles Jones was celebrating his birthday. They claim she coordinated with others who later ambushed the rapper in a hotel parking lot.

Multiple shooters allegedly opened fire, fatally shooting the rapper and wounding multiple people.

Andrews is charged with first-degree murder and planning a murder.

Andrews’ lawyer argues that she had no idea about the murder plan. They claim she was in Tampa for personal reasons.

This trial is being followed closely by fans of the late rapper because the killing is linked to gang tensions.
