Date:                    01/14/20

Narrative

Gulfport, FL—  On 01/14/20, at 3:39 am, Gulfport police officers were dispatched to the 5600 block of Tangerine Ave S reference an aggravated battery call.  During the course of the investigation, officers determined that the suspect used a metal baseball bat to beat his roommate/friend several times in his head and body.  The attack was apparently unprovoked and the suspect informed officers that he basically talked himself into the attack as he was upset with how the victim handled money.  The victim was sent to Bayfront Medical Center as a trauma alert and is currently in stable condition, however, he sustained a traumatic brain injury.  The suspect was arrested and is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon causing great bodily harm. 
 
Based on Article 1, Section 16 of the Florida Constitution, victims have the right to prevent the disclosure of information or records that could be used to locate or harass them or their family.  Due to this and the victim’s current medical state, the Gulfport Police Department will not be releasing the victim’s identity until he has had the opportunity to inform law enforcement otherwise. 
 
Suspect:
Stephen Moran
DOB: 10/22/78
