Concord Homeless Camp Shooter Gets 10 Years On 2025 First-Degree Assault, Robbery Charges: Follow-Up

CONCORD, NH — One down, two to go.

Trenton McDonald, 29, of Farmington, was sent to prison on Monday for at least 10 years for shooting Matthew Snyder at a homeless camp under the Water Street Bridge in June 2025. He was initially arrested on 11 felony counts after shooting Snyder during a robbery around 7:30 a.m. on June 7, 2025.

Last year, officers were called to the homeless camp under the bridge for a report of a shooting.

Snyder was shot in the back and taken to Concord Hospital by Concord fire and rescue teams with serious and life-threatening injuries. McDonald fled the scene with two accomplices — another man and a woman who reportedly flashed a Uzi-style firearm during the incident.

The second man was later identified as Daniel Chambers, and the woman as Kendall Lea Anderson.

Officers searched the area between Water Street and Bow looking for the suspects. New Hampshire State Police also sent its drone and K-9 units to assist. Multiple search warrants were obtained to identify the people responsible for the incident. That evidence, police said, led them to McDonald.

A month later, Chambers, 46, a homeless man now located in Concord, was arrested on charges. Anderson, 25, of Effingham, who was featured as the fugitive of the week a few days before the shooting, was picked up in Maine on that warrant as well as charges in the Blueberry State on June 24, 2025. It was unknown, at the time, that she was the third suspect.

On Friday, McDonald, after stewing in jail for 10 months, agreed to a plea deal on one first-degree assault-firearm charge and one robbery-firearm charge. He was given a 10- to 20-year sentence for the robbery charge, suspended for 20 years. On the shooting charge, he received a 10- to 20-year sentence, with a mandatory minimum of 10 years. McDonald must also seek counseling, treatment, or educational programs while in prison, as well as undergo alcohol and drug treatment.

McDonald’s change of heart came just four days after his victim, Snyder, was arrested for a second time in less than a week, on drug charges. He was arrested the second time after a multi-day manhunt in Concord, after he reportedly fled from an Uber driver after agreeing to enroll in a drug treatment program.

Where Do The Other Cases Stand?

According to court records, Chambers’ case has been plodding along.

Initially arrested on felon in possession, criminal threatening-deadly weapon, and two robbery charges, he was indicted on the charges two-and-a-half months after his arrest. Prosecutors moved to compel the collection of DNA samples and fingerprints, which the defense objected to.

After being arraigned in October 2025, several hearings were held, and a final pretrial hearing was booked for January. However, it was canceled. A week later, the defense moved to determine competency. Evaluations were held, and more conferences were booked. On April 1, a competency hearing was scheduled, but Chambers failed to appear.

Another hearing is booked for May 8.

Anderson was indicted on felon in possession, handgun-armed career criminal, criminal threatening-deadly weapon, and two robbery-firearm-conspiracy and criminal liability for the conduct of another, charges in mid-September 2025. She failed to appear for her arraignment in October 2025, and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

It is believed Anderson is still being held in the Somerset County Jail in Maine, where she also faces charges.
