Police have released a security video image of a fourth person they would like to question after a 43-year-old man fell to his death last month.
Detectives say Egbert Boothe, a concert promoter also known as “Jah’b” and “Jahbible,” was at his home on Sheppard Ave. W. near Jane St. with two other men when three armed suspects burst in.
Two of the alleged intruders reportedly chased Boothe onto balcony while another occupant was allegedly robbed at gunpoint by the third.
During the altercation on the 15th floor balcony, Boothe either jumped, fell or was pushed over the railing to his death. The two men with him apparently ran back into the unit and fled with the man they came with.
Police released security camera images to the public in an effort to track them down and on Thursday, identified a fourth person of interest.
She is described as black, 18 – 25 years old, with black hair in a ponytail. She was last seen wearing a white sweater, black tights, and carrying a brown purse with a shoulder strap.
Officers will be canvassing Boothe’s building Thursday evening.
