Police tell us Jordan was stabbed many times and died at the hospital.

Friends of the victim who referred to himself as "Troy" Jordan on Facebook posted messages of sympathy.

Scranton police have been parked in front of the home on Quincy Avenue where the stabbing took place since it happened.

Some neighbors we spoke to tell us they fear for their safety.

A woman who asked not to be identified lives just a few houses down from where the stabbing took place.

"I am very concerned. I have lived here for 11 years and I am seriously thinking about moving out of the area. Within that time, there has been two stabbings, a shooting; just a lot of ruckus going on and I've become very fearful."

Other people who live on this block of Quincy Avenue tell us they hope the people responsible are found soon and they hope nothing like this happens in their neighborhood again.
