Carl Chambers, 46, of Marlboro, New York, was killed after a burst of gunfire shattered a Sunday evening adult soccer gathering in Poughkeepsie on April 19, 2026. The shooting occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. near Stitzel Field on Lincoln Avenue, across from the game at Eastman Park. Chambers was struck in the chest, taken to Vassar Brothers Medical Center in a private vehicle, and later pronounced dead.

Investigators say several people exchanged gunfire across the street from the soccer field and that early evidence indicated at least three different firearms were used, including a high-powered rifle. A 31-year-old man was also wounded and later treated at MidHudson Regional Hospital for a leg wound. Police interviewed people connected to the scene and those who transported Chambers as detectives worked to determine who fired the fatal shot and how the violence began.

No arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly named; multiple people believed to have been involved had not yet been located. Anyone who witnessed the shooting or has video from the area is asked to contact the Poughkeepsie Police Department with information.
