You get a call on your cell from a woman you don't know. Wrong number, it's established, yet after a bit of talking and flirting she wants to meet in a restaurant parking lot to "check each other out."

Suspicious? It should have been for Andre Hayes, a key witness in a drug case.

Hayes had been cooperating with federal investigators by making undercover purchases from a drug dealer, whom he was slated to testify against in an upcoming trial. Despite this making him a pretty obvious target in a city like Washington, D.C., where witness intimidation and violence is a regular occurrence, he agreed to meet the mysterious woman.

"Andre Hayes went there because he was lured," Assistant U.S. Attorney Darlene Soltys said at a recent hearing in the District's federal court.

Nothing bad happened during Hayes's initial encounter with Tiffany Reaves, who, yes, turned out to be the indicted drug dealer's girlfriend. It was week later, after hundreds of flirtatious texts and phone conversation, and after Hayes pulled into a dark residential driveway believing he was about to rendezvous with his new lady friend, that he died in a hail of gunfire. Now Tiffany Reaves is facing the death penalty for "conspiring to obstruct justice by killing a witness."

Tragically, Hayes allowed his heart (or something like that) to make him the ultimate fool.
