Detectives were investigating what prompted Junior Boucher to kill a golfer at the Sandhill Crane Golf Club on Monday in Palm Beach Gardens.

A golfer was killed at a Palm Beach golf club in a sudden, violent attack by a man using golf clubs as weapons. The assailant, with a history of criminal charges, is now facing first-degree murder.

Investigators say the man in custody hit Brian Hiltebeitel with a golf club and then choked him as they fought in a pond at Sandhill Crane Golf Club.

A man was fatally beaten with his own golf clubs in a seemingly "random" attack at a Florida golf course, authorities said.

A witness said he heard the victim yelling "he's trying to kill me" while running away from Boucher, who was allegedly brandishing a golf club, according to a Palm Beach Gardens Police Department affidavit.

Junior Boucher, 36, stands accused of killing Brian Hiltebeitel, 65, who died in the brutal attack at Sandhill Crane Golf Club in Palm Beach County.

New details reveal that the man accused of beating and killing a man with golf clubs at Sandhill Crane Golf Club was reported missing less than an hour before.
