A 25-year-old man from Dorchester was fatally stabbed on Sunday night outside of a Cambridge residence.

Cambridge Police arrested 23-year-old Anthony Jakes of Milton, Mass., at 2 a.m. Monday morning and charged him with “assault with intent to murder” and “assault and battery with a dangerous weapon” related to the death of the man, Gregory Robinson.

Emily J. LaGrassa, spokesperson for the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office, said the charge has not been upgraded to murder because the police must first obtain autopsy results as a “formality.”

Jakes pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on Monday morning and was ordered to be held without bail until an Oct. 28 hearing.

According to LaGrassa, Robinson and Jakes “were believed to be acquaintances” and had an argument on the night of the murder.

Responding to a phone call on Sunday night around 9 p.m., Cambridge Police found Robinson at 29 Newtowne Court with multiple stab wounds. Emergency crews transported him to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he died on Monday at 12:45 p.m.

The murder follows several others in the Area 4 and Central Square neighborhoods last spring and over the summer.

“It’s hard to say whether there’s a trend, and how come something will happen in one neighborhood versus another,” said Cambridge Police Department spokesperson Frank D. Pasquarello.

Ricardo Sean Williams, an Area 4 resident, died June 17 in a drive-by shooting.

A week earlier, a fight between two college students at a Central Square bar resulted in the death of one and the arrest of another for manslaughter.

In early June, two individuals were involved in a non-fatal shooting in Area 4, a neighborhood north of Mass Ave. between Central and Kendall Squares.

In April, 19-year-old Mattapan resident Iran Gray was killed in an early-morning shooting outside the Rhythm and Spice Restaurant in Central Square,
