SEATTLE -- Police are asking for the public's help in locating a man wanted in connection with a homicide in south Seattle over the weekend.

The call for the public's help came after the family of the victim, Noemi Lopez, told reporters that her ex-husband is a suspect in her slaying. They said he is very dangerous and had been threatening Lopez before she was killed on Sunday afternoon.

Police said Jose Angel Blanco, also known as Jose A. Blanco-Naranjo, is 39 years old and may be driving a silver 2001 BMW with Washington license plate 732PPB.

Police said there is a murder warrant on Blanco and that anyone with information regarding him is urged to call Seattle police or 911 immediately.

Lopez suffered 60 stab wounds, according to charges filed by the King County Prosecutor. Blanco called his cousin in Fresno and confessed to the slaying, according to the documents.

The victim's daughter received a voice message from Blanco while she was at church, warning the girl to keep her brother and sister away from their house in South Seattle, police said.

Shortly after, the children found their mother dead inside their home in the 7600 block of 46th Avenue South.

Lopez worked two jobs, one as a medical assistant at Swedish Medical Center.

Lopez's family told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News that her ex-husband had been threatening her and said that the man was contemplating suicide and said he planned to take three people along with him.
