Ali Mohammed has been charged in the New Rochelle shooting that killed David Smith, a former Stamford resident accused of a DoorDash scheme, police say.

David Smith, a 22-year-old former Stamford man accused of operating a scam that cheated DoorDash drivers out of their earnings, was fatally shot in New York.

A 22-year-old man found fatally shot in New Rochelle on Monday was facing charges of scamming DoorDash drivers out of nearly $1 million. David Smith, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., was accused of ripping off delivery workers through a sophisticated phishing scheme that allowed him to access their accounts and pilfer their earnings,

Smith was living in Mount Vernon, N.Y. at the time of his death. He moved there after Stamford police arrested him in June 2023 in what one investigator called a sophisticated phishing scam.

David Smith, of Stamford, will decide Wednesday whether to accept an offer to plead guilty to stealing nearly $1 million in scheme targeting DoorDash drivers.
