We have a closer look tonight at two men who police say killed an internationally known musician in Detroit on Christmas Eve.

Detectives what you to see the chilling surveillance video showing a gunman taking aim at Anthony Tolson, a father, brother, and internationally known musician, who was gunned down on Christmas Eve.

The exclusive video shows Anthony's Trailblazer at a party store parking lot on Gratiot and Fairmount around 9:30 p.m. - after multiple shots were fired.

The ruthless gunmen, wearing grey and blue hoodies, then jump inside, push him out and speed away with it.

Previously released video shows the men walking before they pulled out their guns.

Anthony's mother, in tears, says he was on his way back from church to celebrate Christmas with family - including his three children. But, he never made it home.

His SUV was found days later - torched - with presents still inside.

Anthony, who turned 33 just days before he was killed and carjacked, was a bass player and toured with rappers and singers - some of whom took to Twitter after learning of his death.

Take a look at the video and the gunmen in the video player above.

If you recognize the men, call Detroit Police Homicide at 313-596-2260 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP. You can remain completely anonymous when calling both numbers.

Detectives say no tip is too small.
