A 27-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for the 2023 killing of a Conroe doctor, according to the Conroe Police Department. Miles Fridrich was sentenced on Thursday after he pleaded guilty in the death of Dr. Talat Jehan Khan, 50.

Conroe police officers were called on October 28, 2023, to the Alys Apartments in the 15000 block of Mansions View Drive. They found Khan at a picnic table with multiple stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said Fridrich, who was 24 at the time, was found about 400 yards from the apartment complex and arrested quickly. Neighbors told ABC13 in 2023 that several people, including children, witnessed the attack.

Khan worked at the Conroe branch of Texas Children's Pediatrics. She had moved into the apartments with her 14-year-old daughter a few months before the killing.
