Twenty-three-year-old Camille Gordon was a native of Jamaica, but in the early 2000s was living in London, England. She was studying to be a nursery assistant, and while she was in school, she worked as a hostess for the Blue Bunny Club in Soho to make some extra cash.
On March 1st, 2004, Camille was working the door of the club when she was approached by a man at around six-thirty p.m. This individual paid the cover charge of £5, then went with Camille to a private area to spend some one-on-one time with her.
Later on, when another employee gave the man his bill—which amounted to £375—he began arguing, stating he didn’t have that much. He paid £80 and then was escorted to the door by security.
He walked away from the club down Archer Street but returned shortly afterward and started another altercation with another employee. After a few minutes, he seemed to acquiesce, and walked away from the club once again.
But then, at about ten past seven p.m., he returned to the front door, where Camille Gordon was again stationed. This time he fled the club quickly, and almost simultaneously, Camille began screaming. Club staff saw her staggering down the stairs into the club; she told them she’d been stabbed in the chest.
Camille was taken to the hospital but died an hour later from her injuries. The single stab wound had penetrated her heart.
The individual who killed her was described as a black man wearing a dark-colored Cleveland Indians jacket, dark jeans, white sneakers, and a baseball cap. The man was captured on CCTV cameras going into Piccadilly tube station only minutes after the murder. The images were released to the public in the hopes that someone would recognize him, but as of this writing, he remains unidentified.
As of October 2024, the slaying of Camille Gordon remains unsolved, and there is a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer.
