May 4, 2025

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an early Sunday morning shooting in Beulah.

It happened just around 1:05 a.m. in the 9600 block of Rebel Road, just north of Nine Mile Road and Beulah Middle School.

Daniel Michael Sonier, 35, was charged with felony battery on a person 65 years of age or older and felony criminal mischief with property damage.

Deputies said Sonier was attacking an elderly couple when he was shot by the male in self-defense. The victims and Sonier were known to one another, and the incident is being investigated as a domestic violence incident.

He was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. He was booked into custody remotely from the hospital about 6:20 a.m. He is being held without bond.

The elderly couple was not injured. Sonier’s relationship with the elderly couple has not been detailed by the Sheriff’s Office.

    Ya know, it just don’t pay to mess with an old man especially if he is defending his wife…. I truly hope that the attacker has learned a life lesson in this, for the next time he may not be so fortunate. He is still breathing today.
