    Jarvis Butts Found Dead In Prison After Being Sentenced For The Murder Of A 13-Year-Old Girl

    Jarvis Butts has died in prison just two weeks after he was sentenced for the murder of 13-year-old Na’Ziyah Harris.

    According to reports, the Michigan Department of Corrections revealed that Butts died on Thursday at the Charles Egeler Reception and Guidance Center. His death is being investigated as a suicide.

    On March 12, he pled guilty to Harris’ murder and was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison. During his sentencing, the judge stated, “Mr. Butts, you’re going to have many years to sit and dwell on your horrible actions.”

    In exchange for his plea, Butts was ordered to inform the court of the location of Harris’ body, which has not been found. In January 2024, Na’Ziyah Harris disappeared after getting off the bus in Detroit. Evidence revealed that she was going to meet Butts.

    Kym Worthy, the Wayne County Prosecutor, said that he had been grooming the 13-year-old since 2022. Harris was also allegedly pregnant at the time of her murder, and Butts was allegedly the father.

    Prosecutors stated that Butts’ online search history revealed he was looking up abortions, abortion pills, and drinking red antifreeze.

    Butts was also charged with sex crimes against five other girls, with the youngest being 4 years old.

  • First Suspect Found Guilty Of Manslaughter In Julio Foolio Murder Case

    First Suspect Found Guilty Of Manslaughter In Julio Foolio Murder Case

    One of the five murder suspects in the case of rapper Julio Foolio has been convicted of manslaughter.

    According to reports, the late rapper’s girlfriend, Alicia Andrews, was found guilty of manslaughter after an eight-day trial. However, she was found not guilty on conspiracy to commit murder.

    Jury deliberation began at 6:50 p.m. and came to a verdict at 10:20 p.m. Andrews was accused of sending the rapper to multiple locations on the day of his murder with her codefendants before he was killed by them.

    During the trial, she tried to use evidence of domestic violence against her by her boyfriend and co-defendant Isiah Chance, but the judge ruled against it. The other defendants, Chance, Davion Murphy, Rashad Murphy, and Sean Gathright, are set to go on trial next spring.

    Julio Foolio was killed on his 26th birthday while celebrating at an Airbnb. In 2021, he rose to fame over his public feud with fellow rapper Yungeen Ace.

    Authorities say that Foolio’s murder was tied to a war between gangs. They say that Foolio was allegedly a part of 6 Block and was fighting against two allied gangs, 1200 and Ace’s Top Killers (ATK).

    All of the defendants, minus Andrews, are allegedly a part of those gangs. Alicia Andrews’ sentencing will take place on December 8 at 8:30 a.m.

    May Julio Foolio continue to rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this time.
