A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: "We are keen to hear specifically from anybody who was in Sony’s Bar, Shirley Road, between 7pm and 11pm on the evening of Saturday 9 November.
"If you were in Sony’s Bar and witnessed any altercations, or any behaviour that seemed suspicious, we would like to hear from you.
"We would also like to trace the owner of a red car, pictured, which was travelling along Hill Lane at 1am on Sunday 10 November.
"We appreciate that these images are not of the best quality, and we are carrying out further enquiries in order to obtain clearer images.
"We believe the occupants of this vehicle may have seen something significant and we are really eager to hear from them."
Speaking at the scene at the time, Southampton residents described their shock at the stabbing.
A resident of Milton Road, who wished to remain anonymous said: "I came out of my flat and my neighbour was telling me someone had been assaulted.
“It is usually a pretty quiet road but to hear someone has been attacked is awful."
