Investigators have not found conclusive evidence indicating a specific motive for the attack on Dr. Khan and it does not appear like the two knew each other.
The 24-year-old was ordered to have a mental health evaluation back in November 2023.
Fridrich has been in custody at the Montgomery County Jail since the murder and is held on a $500,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 29 at 9 a.m. in the 9th District Court.
