A 24-year-old man in Texas was arrested over the weekend for allegedly killing a 52-year-old pediatrician, stabbing the victim multiple times as she sat atop a picnic table in the communal area right outside of her own apartment complex.

Miles Joseph Fridrich was taken into custody on Saturday and charged with one count of murder for the slaying of Dr. Talat Jehan Khan, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

Officers with the Conroe Police Department at about 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 28 responded to Alys Apartments, a building located in the 15000 block of Mansion’s View Drive in regards to a disturbance involving a weapon, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter.

Upon arriving at the scene, first responders located an adult female by the common area picnic tables — later identified as Khan — who was suffering from what appeared to be several stab wounds. By the time officers reached the victim, the alleged assailant had reportedly already fled the scene on foot. Authorities attempted life-saving measures on Khan who succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators immediately set up a perimeter and began interviewing eyewitnesses. Police were able to get a detailed description of Khan’s alleged attacker — later identified as Fridrich — who was located and taken into custody on Johnson-Martin Road, a short distance away from the area where Khan was fatally stabbed.

Houston ABC affiliate KTRK reported that several of Khan’s neighbors witnessed the broad daylight attack on the doctor, including several young children. One of the witnesses, Matthew Amador, a local firefighter currently on leave while battling cancer, told the station that he interrupted the assailant and “spooked” him when he came out wielding a Katana sword.
