The allegations were revealed after four men were arraigned this week on a Dutchess County grand jury indictment charging them each with second-degree murder in the April 19 killing of Carl Chambers, 46, of Marlboro, near Stitzel Field in the City of Poughkeepsie, according to the Dutchess County District Attorney's Office.
As previously reported by Daily Voice, the shooting happened just after 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 19, near Stitzel Field on Lincoln Avenue, where an adult soccer game was underway.
Police responded after receiving a Raven gunshot detection alert and multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired. Chambers was killed, and a second victim was wounded but survived.
The four men now charged with murder in Chambers' death are Poughkeepsie residents Peter Green, 31, Paul Green, 35, and Tyrese Hall, 21, as well as Hyde Park resident Shanardo Green, 29.
According to the indictment, Peter Green and Hall drove to the area in a Mitsubishi while Paul Green and Shanardo Green followed in a Nissan. Prosecutors said Peter Green and Hall got out of their vehicle near Chambers, where an altercation began.
Prosecutors said Peter Green then stabbed Chambers in the right side of his torso. Soon after, Shanardo Green got out of the Nissan carrying an AR-style rifle and allegedly fired multiple shots, striking Chambers several times.
Hall then allegedly stood over Chambers and shot him again with a handgun before Paul Green drove all four men away from the scene in the Nissan, according to the DA's Office.
Chambers died from these injuries, according to the indictment.
Dutchess County District Attorney Anthony Parisi called the allegations especially disturbing because the violence unfolded near a community event.
"According to the investigation, this attack unfolded in a public area where community members had gathered for a soccer game, placing countless innocent people at risk," Parisi said.
Judge Karen Edelman-Reyes ordered Peter Green, Shanardo Green, and Hall held without bail. Paul Green was released on bail set at $1 million cash, $3 million bond, or a $7.5 million partially secured bond. All four are scheduled to return to court on Oct. 16.
