Toronto police continue to press the friends of one of the city's latest homicide victims to come forward, releasing on Thursday a new image of a woman described as a "person of interest" in his death.

Anthony Spencer, 23, died on Jan. 21 after being shot inside a basement recording studio at 799 Brimley Rd., near Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough.

Police said Spencer was recording hip hop music with friends when he was confronted by a group of people, one of them armed with a gun.

Spencer was shot at close range and the suspects fled the scene. The victim's friends rushed him to hospital, dropping him off before fleeing in two cars.

The friends have been contacted by police, but have not been helpful in the investigation.

Police say two suspects are in custody on unrelated cases, but witnesses need to come forward before they can be charged in connection to Spencer's death.

On Thursday, police released the image of a young woman seen at Scarborough General Hospital shortly after Spencer was dropped off.

Police are asking the woman, who they described as a person of interest, to seek legal advice and contact Toronto's homicide squad as soon as possible.

She is described as having a light-black complexion, black hair in a pony tail, and about 5' in height with a slim build.

Police have previously released security images of the woman at the scene of the murder as well as an audio recording of a telephone call with a cab company, in which a gunshot can be heard in the background.

Spencer, the father of a three-year-old daughter, was an aspiring rapper who performed under the name Tony Trapz.

His death has been connected to three targeted drive-by shootings in the Malvern area, although police say they are not dealing with a gang war.

Last month, Spencer's sister made a public appeal to her brother's friends, saying that their family was disappointed in their silence and lack of "loyalty".

"I'm from the old school. My friends would have never done that to me. My friends would have come forward. You invite people into your life to share parts of your life, to share memories. You are supposed to have each other's back," Susan Spencer said last week.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux at 416-318-2122 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
