We present preliminary STAR results on 3-particle azimuthal angle correlation studies in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV. The studies are carried out at mid-rapidity between a trigger particle with 3 $\le p_{\perp} \le$ 4 GeV/c and two associated particles in 1 $\le p_{\perp} \le $ 2 GeV/c. A cumulant analysis reveals finite 3-particle azimuthal correlations, dominated by near and away side particle correlations consistent with jet production, and jet-flow correlations. We use a two-component model to remove underlying background correlations. This analysis indicates the presence of the conical emission signals in central Au+Au collisions within the model assumptions about background composition and normalization.
