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.

Yeah, until you find Captain Winkie.
???
Desperate would have been going on the date with her if she had shown her actual picture.
“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. “
Was it an accident, which is unintentional, or a murder, which is intentional? How can it be both? And what is “theft of means of transportation”?
Much of the internet is inhabited by people who use fictional names. They may just want to remain anonymous, or use the fake name while trolling chat sites. Some use fake identities to commit crimes. Just remember and beware, much of what you see online is fake.
,,, yeah, I wonder what she would cost to cage freight to Sierra Leone.
Grouper can maneuver a lionfish to the surface before attacking its underbelly, where it doesn’t have poisonous spines.
Not matching the picture on the internet ad. The picture apparently showed a slim pretty woman. The reality did not match. She already had a bad self image and probably thought some man would just be glad she is female.
So they went to the dispensary, stocked up on weed ?
Then the brother thought, hell naw she ain’t some fine Latina, more like a javelina .
He was probably trying to get either weed or money back and died doing so.
Curious to see the “catfish” photo she used to entice the brother.
Dating apps - made especially for those wanting to commit crimes against others.
On our first date, my husband took me to see Night of the Living Dead. I married him anyway. We were married for 50 years.
She seemed like a really sweet girl.
Never go Ugly Early, it is a tough way to go.
Never score a date on beer night because the alarm clock won’t be the only alarm.
See doctor asap.
Not go to the dispensary, buy a bunch of weed and hope things get better if you smoke some weed.
She probably declined his sexual advances and was going to scoot along with the weed he just bought .
Bro figured out that her booty was longer an option, he was pissed and was going to get the weed and /or some money back.
Guy I know chronicled his relationship on social media. I was astounded how he attracted such a beauty. Got married a short time later. I bumped into them outside the supermarket. I was floored when he introduced me to his wife.
Went home and revisited his profile. I was able to see a slight resemblance between the wife and the pics of the wife . . . .
“That’s why you should use the old noggin and meet for coffee first.”
They visited three businesses including a (marijuana?) dispensary) before going back to someone’s apartment.
If he knew he was taken why spend the day with her?
“Was it an accident, which is unintentional, or a murder, which is intentional? How can it be both?
It was murder.
“And what is “theft of means of transportation”?”
In this case it was theft of a vehicle.
