Winslow woman intentionally hit, killed Phoenix man: PD

Police say 30-year-old Mikela Bahe met the victim on a dating app, and intentionally ran him over with his own SUV near 16th Street and Maryland Avenue. 

PHOENIX - An Arizona woman accused of killing a man she met on a dating app has been arrested.

The backstory:

Phoenix Police say officers on May 3 responded to a collision involving a pedestrian at an apartment complex near 16th Street and Maryland Avenue just after 4 p.m. Once at the scene, officers found 52-year-old Norris Taft with critical injuries. Taft was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Dig deeper:

Investigators say they learned 30-year-old Mikela Bahe met Taft on a dating app, and Taft picked her up in his SUV. The two then went to a dispensary before going back to Taft's apartment. At some point during their date, police say there was an argument and Bahe ran over Taft with his SUV before leaving the area.

Detectives were able to identify Bahe as the suspect through surveillance video, which showed her at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport boarding a shuttle that was scheduled to travel to Flagstaff.
