Detectives investigating the murder of a West End nightclub hostess 20 years ago have issued a £20,000 reward to help catch her killer.
Camille Gordon, 23, who was training to be a nursery assistant, was stabbed in the chest outside the Blue Bunny Club in Archer Street in March 2004.
Ms Gordon is said to have been attacked after a dispute over a £375 bill with the killer seen running off towards Shaftesbury Avenue.
Despite extensive enquiries by the Metropolitan Police over the past 20 years, her killer has not yet been brought to justice.
Officers released enhanced CCTV footage and images of this unknown customer, whom officers believe to be responsible for her murder entering Piccadilly Circus Tube station shortly afterwards.
He is described as black, aged 20 to 25, 5ft 5ins to 5ft 8ins.
The suspect was wearing a dark jacket with a large “Cleveland Indians” logo on the front, dark jeans, white trainers and a hat believed to be a baseball cap.

Jamaican-born Ms Gordon came to the UK in 2001 to study as a nursery assistant in Birmingham.
She moved to London in August 2003 to find better career prospects and at the time of her death she was living in South Norwood.
Ms Gordon started working part-time as a hostess at Soho’s Blue Bunny Club to help fund her training as it female company for a short period of time, but no sexual activity.
Detective Inspector Amanda Greig, leading the Met’s Specialist Casework Team investigation, said: “It may have been more than 20 years since Camille was brutally murdered, but her family remain just as heartbroken today.
“They want answers and they want the person responsible for Camille’s death brought to justice – this is something we want too and we have not given up trying to get that for them.
“This is why we are now offering a £20,000 reward for information that leads to the successful charge and conviction of the person responsible.
“A lot can happen in 20 years, allegiances can change.
“Maybe you felt unable to talk to us at the time, for whatever reason, but you are now in a position to do so. Maybe you saw the attack or you were at the club or in the area at the time of the murder?
“Maybe the person responsible has since confided in you? I would urge you to share whatever information you have with us – it will be treated in the strictest confidence and could bring much needed closure to Camille’s family.”
