Police Make Four Arrests in High-Profile Poughkeepsie Murder Case

Nearly two months after a deadly shooting at a soccer field in Poughkeepsie claimed the life of a man, police have announced that four people have been arrested and charged with murder.

According to a press release from the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department, detectives have arrested four individuals in connection with the April 19th murder of Carl Chambers at Stitzel Field in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Shooting at Park in Poughkeepsie, NY

Back in April, multiple 911 calls reported gunfire near Stitzel Field on Lincoln Avenue in Poughkeepsie. When officers arrived, they found a large crowd gathered for an adult soccer game and launched an investigation that revealed multiple people were exchanging gunfire across the street from the field.

Investigators quickly learned that one person had already been transported to a nearby hospital after being shot, while a second victim was also taken to a local hospital for treatment. Sadly, one of the victims, later identified as 46-year-old Carl Chambers of Marlboro, NY, died from his injuries. The second victim, who was not identified, was treated and expected to recover.

The shooting led to a massive multi-agency investigation that remained active for weeks. That investigation has now resulted in the arrest of four local men.

Authorities said all four have been charged with second-degree murder and are currently being held pending arraignment.

The arrests mark a significant development in a case that has remained under investigation since the deadly shooting in April. However, officials stressed that the investigation remains active and ongoing.
