Battered Body of Victim, Who Was Prominent in ‘80s Black Rock Scene, Found in His Vehicle
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Bronx man has been indicted for second-degree Murder for fatally beating a 64-year-old man and leaving his body in the private ambulette the victim drove for a living.
District Attorney Clark said, “The victim went to his ambulette to start his workday and was later found fatally beaten. It was a brutal attack for which the defendant has been brought to justice. Peter Forrest was a musician known by many people in the Bronx and inspired many.”
District Attorney Clark said Sharief Bodden, 29, of 1595 Unionport Road, was indicted on second-degree Murder and first-degree Manslaughter. He was arraigned today before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Geroge Villegas. He was remanded and is due back in court on May 16, 2025.
According to the investigation, on January 13, 2025, at approximately 6:30 a.m., Peter Forrest, 64, a driver for Marquis Ambulette, found his work vehicle’s door damaged near Astor Avenue and Bronxwood Avenue in Morris Park and called his supervisor. When his boss attempted to call him back, Forrest didn’t answer. He traced the vehicle’s GPS and found it around 11:00 a.m., near Hart Street and Castle Hill Avenue in Castle Hill with the victim’s body in it. The investigation determined the defendant was allegedly in the vehicle when Forrest discovered it damaged and then attacked Forrest, killing him.
Forrest went by the moniker P. Fluid and was the front man of rock band 24/7 Spyz, He was part of the movement that led to the Black Rock Coalition.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Tomor Beris of the 43 Precinct Detective Squad, and Detective Jonathan Burke from the Bronx Homicide Squad.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
