Steven Michael Frick was a 46-year-old white man who was born and raised in Borger, Texas. Known to friends and family as a master griller, he loved hunting, spending time at the lake, and anything that involved being outdoors. He married Aimee Davenport on October 18, 2003, and was a devoted family man.
In the early hours of April 17, 2025, Borger Central Dispatch received a 911 call reporting a possible home invasion and shooting.
At approximately 12:24 a.m., police officers were sent to the Frick family’s residence on Canyon Street. Inside, they discovered both Steven and his 52-year-old wife, Aimee Frick. The couple had been shot to death.
An initial investigation by the Borger Police Department, with assistance from the Texas Rangers, led to the arrest of a teenage boy who lived in the home. He was taken into custody at the scene and charged with two counts of homicide before being transported to a juvenile detention facility in Randall County.
Months later, the suspect was publicly identified. In December 2025, after a two-day hearing, a judge ordered that the couple’s son, 16-year-old Brady Frick, be certified to stand trial as an adult. Brady, who was 15 at the time of the killings, was charged with the capital murder of his parents. The court heard evidence from law enforcement, juvenile probation officials, and other experts before making the decision.
The case was transferred to the office of District Attorney Mark Snider for prosecution. Brady Frick was ordered to be held at the Youth Center of the High Plains on a $500,000 bond. The loss of Steven and Aimee deeply affected the Borger community, which organized fundraisers to support the family. Steven is survived by his daughter, Laynie, his parents, Jim and Stephanie Frick, and his sister, Jamie Grant. As of December 2025, the case was pending trial.
