From nj.com:
Authorities are seeking the public’s help in tracking down a suspect in the fatal stabbing of a 29-year-old man in Bayonne.
Elvis Santana, 30, of Bayonne is wanted for the murder of Mathew Mortimer, who was found Tuesday in the vestibule of an Avenue C building with multiple stab wounds to his body, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.
Santana is also charged with possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and unlawful possession of a weapon, Suarez added.
Members of the Bayonne Police Department responded to the Avenue C address between 53rd and 54th streets just before 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and had Mortimer transported to Jersey City Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at the hospital at approximately 4:15 p.m., Suarez said.
The cause and manner of death are subject of an autopsy conducted by the Regional Medical Examiner’s Office.
Suarez advised that anyone who sees Santana should not approach him, and instead call the authorities. She added that anyone with information on his whereabouts may contact her office at 201-915-1345 or to leave an anonymous tip on www.hudsoncountyprosecutorsofficenj.org/homicide-tip/.

Thoughts? As far as I can tell, Santana is still at large as of today's posting date (March 13th, 2021), since there is still a posting on the Hudson County (NJ) Prosecutor's Office Facebook page asking for information on Santana's whereabouts.
Additionally, there was an update last weekend when authorities surrounded a hotel in Jersey City, NJ looking for Santana but either left beforehand or somehow managed to escape the dragnet. Although the motive in this case is still unclear, a source told nj.com Santana had relations with Mortimer's girlfriend. Mortimer's sister is interviewed in the latest updated article, describing Matthew as having a "heart of gold."
