Hereford man Indicted Thursday

Thursday, September 22, 1983

A 30-year-old Hereford man was indicted Thursday by the Potter County grand jury on a charge of murder in the August 30 stabing death of an Amarillo man outside a south Georgia Street night spot.

Flavio Joe Baca is accused of causing the death of Kenneth Friemel, a 24-year-old bouncer at the Rodeo Club, 2700 S. Georgia, by cutting him and stabbing him with a knife, said Darrell Dewey, investigator for the 47th District Attorney's Office. Fremiel died from a stab wound to the chest, he said.

Fremiel had removed Baca from the bar the request of female employees, said Dewey. Baca apparently had offended him, he said.

There was a fight in the parking lot and Fremiel fell to the ground, said Dewey. Friemel was dead on arrival at the hospital, he added.

Baca was arrested a short time later in Dawn by law enforcement from Potter and Deaf Smith counties and the Department of Public Safety.
