Shaquille Fuller was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for shooting a 19-year-old man in December 2014 and then killing an aspiring rapper on Avenue D in February 2015, the Manhattan District Attorney announced yesterday.
On April 4, a New York State Supreme Court jury found Fuller, 24, an Avenue D resident, guilty of all the charges in the indictments against him: Murder, Attempted Murder, and Assault in the Second Degrees; Attempted Assault in the First Degree; and four counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree.
Per DA Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. in a statement:
"This Office is committed to securing the strongest possible sentences for those who engage in gun violence,” said District Attorney Vance. “As this appropriately lengthy sentence illustrates, we will seek maximum penalties for those responsible for violent crime in order to keep our communities safe."
Shemrod Isaac, who went by "Sham Da God," was shot and killed following a reported dispute on a sidewalk outside the Lillian Wald Houses at 20 Avenue D on Feb. 23, 2015. Isaac, 33, was a father to a 6-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy.
