MIAMI — A 72-year-old Miami man was arrested Friday, months after he allegedly killed a woman who was standing on a public sidewalk outside his home, authorities said.
According to an arrest report from the Miami Police Department, a Miami Fire Rescue crew and police officers responded to the 2900 block of Southwest 30th Court at about 2:47 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2025, in reference to a battery.
When officers arrived, they found the victim, Alisa Marie Toth, 65, sitting on the sidewalk and bleeding from the back of her head, authorities said.
According to a separate arrest report from October, the victim appeared to be under the influence of “some stimulant,” and Kohlhas, who was standing near the fence of his home when first responders arrived, told police he went outside and told Toth that he did not want her in front of his house and then pushed her.
The victim fell backwards and struck her head on the sidewalk, causing a laceration to the back of her head, the report stated.
Police said the victim was unable to provide a statement to them due to her condition.
According to Friday’s arrest report, Kohlhas had called 911 and told them the victim had fallen on the sidewalk, which led the dispatcher to transfer the call to fire rescue, deeming the incident a “medical call.” But police said officers were called to the scene due to statements Kohlhas allegedly made to the fire rescue dispatcher after the dispatcher asked how the victim had fallen.
The victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital where doctors discovered that she had suffered a traumatic brain injury and had a subdural hematoma, which caused internal bleeding in the head, the report stated.
According to the report, Kohlhas was initially arrested Oct. 21 on an aggravated battery charge.
Police said on Nov. 1, the victim was declared brain dead and she died at the hospital on Nov. 6.
An autopsy report later confirmed that Toth had died from blunt injuries of the head and the manner of death was ruled a homicide, authorities said.
Kohlhas was then taken into custody Friday on a second-degree murder charge.
Police said he declined to make another statement to detectives without first speaking with an attorney.
As of Monday morning, Kohlhas was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond.
