Detectives Arrest Former Gay Pornstar in 2010 Murder Case
Twelve years after a murder in South Florida, detectives said they’ve identified a gay pornography model as the chief suspect in the killing.In August 2010, Broward County Sheriff’s Office deputies found a man, 31-year-old Alfred “Chad” McMurray, dead from a gunshot wound at his residence in Oakland Park, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. They failed to locate a clear suspect at the time.On Friday, however, the office published an announcement saying that in May, “new information led homicide investigators to identify a possible suspect.”That person is Aaron Michael Dobbins, a 52-year-old Tampa resident who previously acted in gay pornography under the name “Trace Michaels.” According to the BSO statement, investigators obtained a search warrant for Dobbins’ DNA and matched it with forensic evidence found under McMurray’s fingernails at the crime scene 12 years ago.“Investigators said based on the information gathered and evidence collected in this case, they believe Dobbins is responsible for the murder,” the sheriff’s office said in its statement.Detectives claimed in an arrest report that McMurray’s truck, along with some personal items, had been stolen from the murder scene.
