The stabbing left residents shaken.
"I feel like the community's just gone downhill to be honest. I don't come out late at night,” says Spring Valley resident Damaras Jones.
Residents say it’s also concerning that it happened near a local church and down the street from playgrounds and basketball courts.
“It’s pretty shocking because I usually hang out here every day,” says Spring Valley resident Winter Bellevue. “Families come out here all the time, people are enjoying themselves so you never imagine that somebody would get stabbed so close to the park.”
