Yungeen Ace name has been cleared thanks to a DNA sample pertaining to a gun charge he was arrested for earlier this year.
According to a report by WJAX-TV in Jacksonville on Tuesday (July 9), Ace’s firearm possession charge was dropped last week after a test results failed to link him to the weapon.

As previously reported, Ace (real name Keyanta Tyrone Bullard) was arrested in mid-April at about 8:15 pm after sheriffs pulled his rented SUV over for failing to stop at a four-way intersection in Jacksonville Beach. He was initially arrested for failing to produce a valid driver’s license, but a subsequent search of the car revealed the rapper had seven guns that he is not allowed to carry in the state of Florida considering he is as a convicted felon.
The following day, he was released from police custody after posting a $150,000 bond.

In a statement shared with XXL about the case being dropped, Ace’s lawyer Christopher DeCoste said: “We thank the government for agreeing that the only persons in the wrong that day were the cops for making arrests.”
In related news, Julio Foolio‘s murder case has taken yet another turn as a man recently came forward claiming that Yungeen Ace paid him $10,000 to kill the rapper.
In a video circulating on social media, a man wearing a ski mask and an orange beanie claims that Foolio was shot and killed on his 26th birthday because of his feud with Ace.
In the clip, the unidentified individual says: “On everything I love, on the dead homies, I put it on everything on my soul, on my kid, n-gga: I’m the one that smacked Julio Foolio that night when he got dropped at his birthday celebration.

“I ain’t gonna show my face or give my identity away or nothing like that, but you know, I did that.”
The man went on to allege that Foolio’s longtime rival Yungeen Ace orchestrated the killing, adding: “There was money on his head. I rock with Ace and them boys, ATK. I be in Jacksonville heavy. If you know, you know.
“I handled that because Ace had that money on his head; Ace had them put that 10K up. Told me to slide, told me to smack Foolio ’cause he got tired of that n-gga running his mouth, playing all the time, you feel me?”

Police have yet to publicly identify any suspects in relation to the June 23 murder, which occurred outside a Holiday Inn in Tampa, Florida.
Julio Foolio and Yungeen Ace, plus their respective crews KTA and ATK, have been feuding ever since Julio’s cousin was shot and killed in 2017.
