Dr. Talat Khan was allegedly stabbed to death while sitting outside of her apartment complex's common area.
The family of a Texas pediatrician has filed a lawsuit against the management company that owns the apartment complex where she was fatally stabbed last October, claiming it could have done more to prevent her death.
The lawsuit against Knightvest Management says the Dallas-based company was neglectful in protecting Dr. Talat Khan, 52, who was killed Oct. 28 while sitting in the common area of the apartment complex in Conroe, north of Houston.
Several neighbors, including children, witnessed a man stabbing Khan multiple times before running off, according to reports by KTRK-TV in Houston.
It “didn’t look like he was there, or was a person, blank face, real dark, you know, evil look in his eyes,” neighbor Matthew Amador told the TV station in October. “He had gone and left three times before I even got there, and when I got there, he was checking her pulse to make sure she was alive and then stabbed her three more times.”
According to the lawsuit obtained by HuffPost, the assailant was able to enter and escape from the area through an “ill-maintained and inoperable entry and exit gate” at the apartment complex.
