A man convicted of killing another man during a drug deal has been sentenced to life in prison.

Jaquez Clifton was sentenced Tuesday to live in prison, plus 25 to 30 years. A jury found him guilty in September for the murder of Frank Sanders.

Prosecutors said, in July 2014, Clifton shot Sanders in the chest when he and another man went to buy drugs.
