Well a photo would give you a definite ID, but check out pictures of Cordyline - that's probably the most likely one you've got. If it is Cordyline, don't trim the shoots, that's the new growth taking over from the damaged top parts. You can, though, cut down the dead or damaged or rotting trunk back to where new growth has appeared - but only if it IS a Cordyline.
