Sources say the man was found with a stab wound to his neck. Investigators say the victim was in his twenties. The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death.

Police say they rushed to the scene around 4 p.m. Friday, but one neighbor says he thinks something may have happened overnight.

"The investigators came by and then pretty much just asked what did we see at a specific time," said Julien Trezza, "But I didn't see anybody."



It is unclear whether the victim lived in the home, or if he had any connection to it at all.
