JUPITER, Fla. — A man faces four counts of attempted second-degree murder after being accused of shooting a gun at golfers at Abacoa Golf Club in Jupiter Tuesday afternoon, according to arrest records.

According to the probable cause affidavit, officers responded to Abacoa Golf Club at around 6 p.m. Tuesday after reports of shots fired in the area.

Police spoke to four people who said they were playing on hole three of the course when a man began shooting at them from a backyard across the lake, and then went back inside the house.

Records say that investigators were able to identify the suspect as 27-year-old Daniel Nobile.

All four of the victims said that they had never had any prior interaction with Nobile.

According to the affidavit, one victim said they saw Nobile walking around the backyard with his back against the house when he heard the loud bangs. The victim originally thought it was fireworks, but then saw Nobile holding what looked like a pistol pointed at him.

The four golfers entered their golf carts and fled the course for safety.

Daniel Nobile appears in a Palm Beach County courtroom on May 28, 2025, to face four counts of attempted second-degree homicide.

Viewer video from the Abacoa Golf Club showed a student on the driving range at about 6 p.m. when you suddenly hear a pop. A few seconds later, eleven more pops in rapid succession, which turned out to be gunshots.

"Unbelievable, I couldn't believe it," said Randy Steeves, who lives near the shooting scene along Barbados Drive. "I was watching TV, and I heard all the sirens going off."

After arriving at the alleged house, a detective spoke with a friend of the Nobile family who said they received a call from Nobile's sister crying and scared "because she heard loud pops." When the friend drove over to the household and made contact with Nobile, Nobile said that "everything was fine."

Police reached Nobile's parents, who confirmed that there was a gun in the household.

GUN FOUND HIDDEN IN GARAGE

According to the arrest affidavit, when detectives searched the garage, they found a weapon wrapped in cloth, hidden underneath a plastic shelving unit, that was hidden from public view by several cases of water bottles.

Shell casings hidden in a purse and behind a washer-dryer matched the projectiles found on the golf course, investigators said.

About three hours after the gunshots were fired, Nobile was taken into custody by the Jupiter Police Department without incident.

WPTV tried reaching out to Nobile's family on Wednesday but were unsuccessful.

Neighbors are shaken, but unbowed.

"Fortunately, nobody got hit and the man responsible gets the help he needs, and the neighborhood moving forward, stays quiet," Steeves said.

HELD WITHOUT BOND

Nobile made his first appearance in court Wednesday, where his attorney said her client has a mental health issue and asked for a mental health evaluation.

A judge set no bond pending the results of the mental health evaluation.

The case was reset for June 10.
