Brenda L. Nogle, a 60-year-old woman from Palm Beach Gardens, was found dead on October 7, 2025, inside a townhome on the 1700 block of 17th Lane in the Garden Lakes community after officers conducted a welfare check. When police entered the residence around early afternoon, they discovered two bodies: Nogle and her adult son, 37-year-old Kaleb J. Perales. Investigators said the preliminary evidence indicated an apparent murder-suicide and emphasized there was no broader threat to the community while the investigation remained active.
Police identified Perales as the person who fatally shot his mother before turning the gun on himself. Authorities did not release further details about a motive, noting only that the case remained under investigation as of the subsequent updates. No arrests were made, and there were no additional suspects sought in connection with the case.
Public records and subsequent reports memorialized the date and location of Nogle’s death, aligning with the police timeline from the day of the welfare check. Local outlets reiterated that detectives were continuing to review the circumstances but were treating the incident as a suspected murder-suicide involving the mother and son found at the scene.
