CONROE, Texas – A man was charged with murder after a woman was fatally stabbed at an apartment complex in Conroe, Texas, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.
Miles Joseph Fridrich, 24, was identified as the suspect in this case and charged with 1st degree murder. His bond was set at $500,000.
On Saturday, police were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 15000 block of Mansions View Drive around 12:36 p.m. regarding a disturbance with weapons.
But, before officials arrived, the sound of children screaming alerted Matthew Amador to rush outside.
“I looked out, and they were all running. I grabbed my sword, and I grabbed my phone,” Amador said.
Amador was a witness and said he saw a man stabbing 52-year-old Dr. Talat Khan multiple times at a picnic table at the apartment complex.
“The perpetrator was checking her pulse which was really bad. I saw him checking her pulse, and then he stabbed her three times. Then as I yelled, ‘hey,’ he turned around and looked at me then ran,” Amador said.
About 17 people walked out of their homes with guns. Amador said the police quickly showed up.
“I started yelling out the description, tall white guy, purple shirt, tall white guy, purple shirt!” He said.
Conroe police caught up to the suspect and took him into custody. It is unclear what his relationship is to Khan.
“I’ve never seen evil like that in my life,” Amador said.
Neighbors said their tight-knit community is left shaken.
The motive behind Dr. Khan’s murder is unknown at this time.
This case is still being investigated.
