On Thursday, the Daily News reported that the man suspected in the shooting of an East Village rapper in the Lillian Wald Houses this past Monday was arrested in New Jersey.

Shaquille Fuller, 21, a resident of 60 Avenue D, also in the Wald Houses, was reportedly taken into custody in Irvington, N.J., early on Thursday and was being questioned at the Ninth Precinct stationhouse. However, no charges had been filed as of Thursday night.

According to police, Fuller shot Isaac, 33, three times in the chest outside 20 Avenue D, at 4:30 p.m. Monday. The two reportedly had been heard arguing before the shooting.

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 close to “blowing up” as he was poised to sign a contract with a major producer.
