LAKE WORTH BEACH — A 22-year-old Lake Worth Beach man is facing multiple criminal charges — including murder — after authorities say he shot and killed another man this month during an attempted robbery.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office arrested Jason Nozistene on Saturday in connection with a May 5 shooting death in the 800 block of South H Street. He faces one count each of first-degree murder with a firearm, attempted first-degree murder, attempted robbery, and being a delinquent in possession of a firearm.

The shooting occurred one day after the victim's 54th birthday. The sheriff's office did not disclose the man's name, citing a 2018 state constitutional amendment that allows either crime victims or their families to request that their names be withheld from public reports.

A witness speaking to sheriff's investigators described standing outside and drinking beer with others shortly before 11:30 p.m. that night when a male wearing a black ski mask approached the group and demanded money. The witness said one man in the group refused and ended up fighting with the gunman.

As the fight continued, the masked gunman fired one shot, mortally wounding the other man, the witness told investigators. The witness and another person armed with a shovel then chased the shooter to a nearby motel on South Dixie Highway. Surveillance video captured the foot chase and showed the gunman fleeing to a specific room, a sheriff's report said.

Deputies later learned that the room was registered to Nozistene. After obtaining a search warrant, deputies found Nozistene's identification card, clothing seen in the surveillance video and a semi-automatic pistol. It appeared that Nozistene had fled through an open window, the report said.

Deputies reportedly found a second pistol under a car near Nozistene's room. During a court hearing Sunday at the Palm Beach County Jail, Circuit Judge Samantha Schosberg-Feuer assigned Nozistene a public defender and ordered that he be held without bail on the murder and attempted murder charges.
