Jupiter Police investigating shots fired near Abacoa golf course
UPDATE: A man has been charged with four counts of attempted second-degree murder after allegedly firing multiple shots at golfers at the Abacoa Golf Club on Tuesday evening, according to an arrest report released by the Jupiter Police Department.
The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Daniel Nobile, is accused of opening fire on a group of four individuals who were playing on hole three of the golf course around 6:00 p.m. Officers responded quickly to the scene following multiple reports of gunfire.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the golfers stated that the shots came from the backyard of a residence located across a lake from their position on the course. After firing, the suspect was seen retreating into the house. One of the victims initially believed the loud bangs were fireworks until he noticed a man—later identified as Nobile—walking along the back of the home holding what appeared to be a handgun aimed in their direction.
All four golfers, who said they had no prior contact or known history with Nobile, immediately fled the area in golf carts and contacted authorities. None of the victims were injured.
As police investigated, they made contact with a family friend who had received a panicked phone call from Nobile’s sister, describing loud noises and expressing fear. When the friend arrived at the residence and spoke with Nobile, he reportedly claimed that “everything was fine.”
Police later interviewed Nobile’s parents, who confirmed that a firearm was present in the home. A black Glock 17 handgun was recovered from the garage, wrapped in cloth and hidden, according to the affidavit.
Nobile was taken into custody without incident and appeared before a judge on Wednesday. The court ordered no bond pending the outcome of a mental health evaluation. The next court hearing is scheduled for June 10.
Jupiter Police Chief provided a statement emphasizing the seriousness of the incident and praised the swift response of officers that ensured no one was physically harmed during the shooting. The investigation remains active.

Venezuelan national Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis shot in the leg by an immigration agent in Minneapolis
On January 14, 2025, federal law enforcement personnel were engaged in a targeted enforcement operation involving Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national who has been present in the United States since 2022.
The operation escalated into a high-speed pursuit, a physical confrontation, and an ambush by multiple subjects, necessitating the use of a defensive firearm discharge by a federal agent.
At approximately 6:50 PM, federal officers initiated a targeted traffic stop of a vehicle operated by Sosa-Celis.
The subject refused to comply with law enforcement commands and attempted to flee the scene.
During the pursuit, the subject’s vehicle collided with a stationary, parked car.
Following the collision, the subject abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on foot.
A federal agent pursued the suspect on foot and successfully intercepted him. As the agent attempted to effect an arrest, the subject became combative, resulting in a violent struggle on the ground.
During this confrontation, two additional male subjects emerged from a nearby residence to intervene.
These individuals reportedly ambushed the agent, utilizing a snow shovel and a broom handle to strike the officer.
The situation escalated when the primary suspect, Sosa-Celis, regained his footing and joined the two additional subjects in the assault.
Reports indicate the suspect struck the agent with a blunt object (identified as either the shovel or broom handle).
Citing an immediate threat to his life while being outnumbered and actively assaulted by three individuals, the agent discharged his service weapon in self-defense.
The discharge struck Sosa-Celis in the lower extremity (leg). Following the shot, all three suspects retreated into a nearby apartment complex and initiated a barricade situation.
Following a brief standoff, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) successfully secured the perimeter and apprehended all three individuals without further injury.
Both the federal agent and Sosa-Celis were transported to a local medical facility for treatment.
Images from the scene showed Sosa-Celis conscious and alert during transport.
All three subjects involved in the assault are currently in the custody of ICE.
Further charges related to the assault on a federal officer and resisting arrest are pending review by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
