She’s registered under "Plenty of Fish" and "Tagged,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. The woman had set up two separate dates on Jan. 25 and Wednesday.

Green used "Plenty of Fish" to schedule one date Jan. 25. She brought the man to her Harmony Pines Apartment in Riverdale afterwards, said Hill. Two African American men approached his vehicle with hand guns around 5:30 p.m. They entered it, ordering him to drive while being held at gun point.
