The man suspected of fatally shooting an aspiring East Village rapper outside his home in the Lillian Wald Houses on Avenue D on Mon., Feb. 23, was taken into custody in New Jersey Feb. 26.
Shaquille Fuller, 21, a resident of 60 Avenue D, also in the Wald Houses, was taken into custody in Irvington, N.J., the Daily News first reported.
According to police, Fuller shot Isaac, 33, three times in the chest outside 20 Avenue D, at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 23. The two reportedly had been overheard arguing before the shooting.
However, no charges have been filed in the case but Fuller has just been charged for attempted murder for a Dec. 12 shooting on Avenue D, near E. 6th St.
Isaac, who rapped as Sham Da God, was taken to Beth Israel Hospital, where he died. Fuller fled into the Wald Houses on the F.D.R. Drive, then eluded police for several days. He was ID’d by surveillance video from near the shooting. Isaac’s career as a rapper was reportedly set to “blow up” as he was poised to sign a contract with a major producer.
