PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News) - A woman in Arizona is accused of killing a man who tried to end a date early after realizing he had been “catfished,” police said.
Mikela Antresa Bahe, 30, is facing multiple charges, including second-degree murder, in the death of 52-year-old Norris L. Taft.
Police said Taft was found seriously injured in the parking lot of an apartment complex just after 4 p.m. Sunday, May 3, and later died at a hospital.
Investigators said surveillance video showed a woman getting into a dark-colored SUV as Taft walked in front of it, apparently trying to get the driver to stop.
The SUV then accelerated, hit Taft and briefly dragged him underneath before speeding away, police said.
Detectives said a family member told them Taft had met a woman on the app MocoSpace and was on his way to pick her up.
The relative said Taft later texted that he had been “catfished” because the woman did not look like her profile photo, and he was trying to end the date.
Police say video and purchase history from businesses the pair visited, including a dispensary and a gas station, helped identify the woman as Bahe.
Court documents said Bahe admitted she was with Taft for part of the weekend but claimed she could not remember what happened between leaving the dispensary and the next morning.
Authorities say Bahe later called a family member and said she “f***** up” and would be going to prison, then stopped answering detectives’ questions.
She was booked into the Maricopa County jail on charges including second-degree murder, leaving the scene of an accident and theft of means of transportation.
Investigators say they tracked Bahe after the incident, including boarding a Phoenix Sky Harbor shuttle bus to Flagstaff the next day.
She was taken into custody on Wednesday with help from Flagstaff police and brought back to Phoenix.

catfished?........................
Expect a lot more of this. Many women are getting desperate.
To be “catfished” means someone has tricked you by creating a fake online identity. Catfishers typically use stolen photos, fabricated life stories, and false names to deceive their victims, usually to manipulate them into a fake relationship, steal their money, or troll them.
Yeah, had to look it up. Glad I don’t online date!
Them again, Yogi.
Never ends...
That’s crazy!................
She’s a biggy.

Catfishing refers to roping in suckers with fake dating profiles, which became more common due to photo filters and photoshopping.
The term became popular with the 2010 documentary "Catfish" where a man develops an online friendship with who he believes to be an 18 year old girl from the Midwest who turns out to be a 40-year-old housewife. The woman's husband compares her behavior to that of a catfish being shipped with live cod to prevent the cod from becoming pale and lethargic. Such practice was described in 'Essays in Rebellion' (1913) and 'The Catfish' (1913) and MTV ran a show based on the movie from 2012 to 2025.
She looks to have quite a bit of gravitas....
That’s why you should use the old noggin and meet for coffee first. 🙄
He had a clue in her texts. She said at her job she was working for scale.
I know, catfish don't have scales and union fish places with wage tier scale are rare these days. Worth a try.
She probably said “A lotta people say I look just like Salma Hayek the actress. I never really thought about it.
So, what time can you be there?”
The last time she was slender like Halle Berry as in her date photo a Big Mac combo with medium fries and drink was $3.85 .
Advice: Don’t take them to the midnight movie of Fatal Attraction. Wait for Rocky Horror or El Topo or Night of the Living Dead.
RE: meet for coffee first....
In the excellent (unexpectedly) new series CIA, the two nice guy agents were hoodwinked by the young woman at her apartment who played on their need to have a woman pay them attention and cook for them.
They wisely at the last second swore off eating from the home cooking food on the plate, shifting the plate to her to eat. She was okay. No poison. No mind drug.
They sipped the water and soon got dizzy and fell off their chairs onto the floor saying in garbled words “It was in the water.”
She has her own gravity well..............
After dark, life in the jungle is full of vicious predators …
