A somber scene unfolded last month on the fields of Stitzel Park in Poughkeepsie, where a friendly soccer match turned deadly.
According to the indictment, 35‑year‑old Carl Chambers was attacked by four men who had arrived in a second vehicle after the game.
Peter Green, known as “Butter” among friends, is alleged to have plunged a knife into Chambers’ torso, while Sharnado Green opened fire with an assault rifle, striking the victim multiple times.
Tyrese Hall, also present, is said to have fired a pistol at the wounded Chambers as he lay on the ground, adding to the hail of gunfire.
The assailants fled the scene in the same vehicle they had used to arrive, leaving first responders to confront a chaotic crime scene.
Arraignment and Indictment
The four suspects — Sharnado Green, Peter Green, Paul Green, and Tyrese Hall — were arraigned in Dutchess County Court and held without bail as the legal process moves forward.
District Attorney Anthony Parisi condemned the violence, calling it a stark reminder of the risks that community gatherings now face, and pledged to pursue justice for Chambers and his family.
The case has sparked renewed calls for stricter oversight of public events and has left residents of Dutchess County uneasy about the safety of recreational spaces.
As the suspects await further proceedings, the community grapples with the aftermath of a night that ended in bloodshed on a field once reserved for youthful competition.
