WICHITA, Kan. — A Kansas man has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a man during a drug deal, and authorities say the Tinder dating app played a key role in tracking him down.

The Wichita Eagle reports that 27-year-old Tanner Mora of Wichita was sentenced Wednesday for the killing in a health club parking lot. Lorenzo Wade’s body was found by a plastic bag of marijuana on Feb. 6, 2019. Prosecutors say Wade was killed during a drug deal that went wrong and turned into a robbery.

A cellphone found with Wade included information from a Tinder account that helped lead police to the suspect.
