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.

in her case he was Carped!
Most of the social media apps have filters now where a person can apply the filter(s) and make themselves look much nicer.
Most women seem to think that this is a normal part of posting photos and they do it all the time. One of my wife's friends does it.
If you call them out on it, they get very upset.
Bahe is a Navajo name. She looks it.
You can see why Norris was disappointed.
If she goes for a racial abuse by him defence she might get off. He was on my stolen land!
Of course him being black complicates it a bit.
Swallowed a lot of aggression... along with a lot of pizzas
Now it’s a five second prompt. Nothing to it.
But using just a little filtering or Photoshop isn't wrong.
You can barely tell any difference at all!
Grouper fish can grow quite large, with the giant grouper reaching lengths of up to 9.8 feet and weights exceeding 882 pounds, while the goliath grouper can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh as much as 800 pounds.
Behe is a Navajo name. She looks it and the fact she was trying to escape toward Flagstaff (nearer to the big rez) reinforces it.
You mean men are getting desparate,more than usual...
Dude looks (looked) like Mike Tomlin
she seems nice
I’d still be cool with that
