The man and woman, who may be operating a white 2006 Honda with a Massachusetts registration of 187-HH7, are considered armed and dangerous, Sgt. John M. Delaney said.
Police said that Beslanga, visiting family and about to travel home to Newington, Conn., was stabbed once in the chest after a neighbor spotted him urinating between two buildings on Cumberland Street.
Police are seeking that neighbor, Luis Manuel Cintron, 37, of 66 Cumberland St., on a warrant for murder.
They are also seeking Noemy Ramos, 33, of that same address, on a warrant for accessory to murder.
After the stabbing, which followed a verbal confrontation, Cintron assaulted another male victim with the knife before handing it over to Ramos and telling her to get rid of it, Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said.
Ramos then ran down the street and hid the knife in the sewer. Delaney said. It was later recovered by police.
The murder was witnessed by Beslanga’s wife and three children and his mother, who attempted to stop Cintron from escaping, Delaney said.
Beslanga was pronounced dead in the emergency department at Baystate Medical Center, which is about 200 yards away from the stabbing. Beslanga, described as a hard-working family man who provided for his four children, is the city’s 8th homicide victim of the year.
