Cops seek suspected shooter known as ‘Gold Mouth’ for attempted Port Orange murder
Volusia sheriff’s detectives are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a male suspect wanted for attempted first-degree murder in an April 9 shooting in Port Orange, Florida. Sheriff Chitwood announced the Volusia Sheriff’s Office is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of this suspect, in addition to any Crime Stoppers reward.
Conrad Massey, 28, a.k.a. “Gold Mouth,” is wanted by police in connection with shooting a victim following an argument. The victim survived.
The shooting victim was neighbors with Massey. Both were living on Poinsettia Drive in Port Orange. On the evening of April 9, the victim went to Massey’s house to confront him, and asked him to stop dealing drugs in the neighborhood, “and that’s when Massey grabbed a gun and put it to the victim’s jaw while threatening to kill him.”
“I know what will happen, he’ll kill me,” the victim said, according to deputies.
He initially claimed the argument was about power being off at his trailer. He told deputies he didn’t know Massey’s real name because he was only known to him by the nickname Gold Mouth, records show. ~ Click Orlando
