(McKinney, Texas) – Frederick Douglass Feaster, 37, of Dallas, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for Murder, announced Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis.
On February 3, 2017, multiple people called 911 to report gunshots at an apartment complex in Plano, Texas. When police arrived at the apartment they found Miko Walker’s body in the living room of his apartment. He was shot twice before he died. There was evidence he attempted to protect himself by shooting at his attacker.
The same day, Plano Detectives were also notified of a gunshot victim at a local hospital who reported he was robbed at a gas station. The man at the hospital was Frederick Feaster. Feaster told Methodist Hospital Officer Miles Hanks and Richardson Police Officer Ryan Otero he was at a bar with friends and then was robbed at a gas station, but he was not able to tell officers what bar or what gas station. Feaster was shot multiple times, including the wrist.
The next day Plano Detectives met with Feaster. They informed Feaster they found his phone at the victim’s apartment. Feaster was arrested for murder and warrants were obtained for his DNA. Test results revealed that Feaster’s DNA matched the DNA found on a bullet at the apartment and the blood in the parking lot. In addition, cell phone GPS records put Feaster at the scene at the time of the murder. The case was investigated by Plano Detectives Courtney Noel and Brian Pfahning.
Feaster was indicted for Capital Murder and the State presented evidence that Feaster killed the victim during the commission of a robbery; however, the jury did not find beyond a reasonable doubt that a robbery occurred. The jury did return a guilty verdict on the lesser charge of Murder and assessed a 30 year prison sentence. Judge Andrea Thompson presided over the case.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant Criminal District Attorneys Katherine Nolden and Cynthia Walker. They were aided by District Attorney Investigator Michael Coleman and Victims Assistance Coordinator Renee Thompson.
