Cops believe Cisse was the man who groped Smith shortly after she left her apartment on W. 150th St. near Frederick Douglass Blvd.
Shadina Smith, a 29-year-old mother of one, was shot three times in the chest and killed the afternoon of Jan. 16, and her boyfriend shot and wounded, in a fatal confrontation on W. 150th St. near Frederick Douglass Blvd.
Smith rushed back into the building to get her 26-year-old fiance, Joshua Hall, and then together they turned to confront the man who grabbed her, police say.
Cisse pulled out a gun and fired at the couple, striking Smith three times. Smith, the mother of a 2-year-old boy, Uriel, died at the hospital. Hall was also wounded in the chest and left arm, but survived.

Daouda Cisse, 22, said he has not seen his younger brother since early January, when he was hanging out and playing video games at home. He said his brother is anything but a killer.
“He’s not a bad person,” the brother said. “He’s not at all capable (of doing that.)”
“Nobody has told me any allegations about him,” the brother added.
Smith’s aunt, Corine Booker, 33, said the victim had a bright spirit and adored her young son.

“She was very invested in her son and his future,” Booker said at the time of Smith’s death. “I hate that he won’t be able to know how wonderful and how resilient she was.
“We just want to make sure to give him all that love.”
