AceShowbiz - Yungeen Ace (Keyanta Bullard) has had a tumultuous legal journey in recent months. On July 3, prosecutors dropped a gun possession charge against Ace stemming from an April 15 arrest in Jacksonville Beach. Police had found seven loaded firearms in an SUV he was riding in. However, prosecutors stated that they could not establish "intentional control" of the weapons due to insufficient evidence.
Ace is facing allegations that he paid $10,000 to have Julio Foolio, his rival, killed. A masked individual recently claimed responsibility for Foolio's murder, stating that they were hired by Ace. These allegations have not been verified.
Ace is associated with ATK (Ace To Kill), while Foolio was a member of KTA (Kill Them All). The two gangs have been involved in a violent feud for years, resulting in multiple shootings and deaths.
In 2018, Ace survived a shooting that killed three others. The incident happened near St. Johns Town Center. In recent years, he has been living in Houston, Texas due to frequent run-ins with the police in Jacksonville.
Ace is linked to the Robinson family and ATK, which has been accused of violent drug trafficking activities. Other alleged ATK members, Hakim Robinson (Ksoo) and Abdul Robinson Jr., are awaiting trial in murder cases. Their father, Abdul Robinson Sr., has pleaded guilty to being an accessory.
Foolio's family held a funeral to mourn his life, but rumors of Ace's involvement continue to circulate. Police have yet to identify suspects in the shooting.
