Allegations are that about 10:30 p.m. on June 17, Gordon along with two accomplices went to the victim's home in Edgewater in Portmore, St Catherine where a verbal dispute developed.
Gordon allegedly used a knife to stab the man in his upper body.
He died from injuries received in the incident.
Gordon fled the scene and was later arrested on June 19 when he surrendered to the police.
