Repeat offender allegedly kills 14-year-old girl, has criminal history dating back to 2000: officials

A 14-year-old girl in Illinois was allegedly killed by a repeat offender after she was reported missing on Friday, according to officials.

The Illinois State Police told Fox News Digital in a statement that the 14-year-old girl was killed in Vandalia on Friday. Megan Zeller, the girl's biological mother, identified the girl as 14-year-old Kylie Toberman.

Arnold Rivera was arrested after the 14-year-old's death and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault and concealing a homicidal death, a spokesman for the Fayette County Sheriff's Office told Fox News Digital. The girl was reported missing on Friday.

According to KSDK, Zeller said her daughter was found inside an RV located behind the home where the girl had been living.

In 2000, prosecutors in Macon County, Illinois, dismissed charges of criminal sexual abuse involving a child between the ages of 9 and 16, as well as burglary, in exchange for a guilty plea to felony aggravated battery, according to court records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Rivera was sentenced to 30 months probation as a result, the records show, which ended in March 2023.

He also pleaded guilty to charges of possession of a stolen vehicle in 2008 and received a sentence of 24 months probation.

Warriors' Draymond Green confronts fan teasing him with 'Angel Reese' chants

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green had a face-to-face confrontation with a New Orleans Pelicans fan on Sunday night during the team’s 124-106 win.

The incident occurred in New Orleans with about two minutes to play before halftime. The fan, who was identified as Sam Green, was standing and cheering after Green was called for a foul on Pelicans forward Herb Jones.

The NBA player, instead of going to line up for the free-throw attempts, strolled to the sideline and stood in front of the fan. The man stood up and held his arms out to the side as the two chatted. Officials got in between the two and cooler heads prevailed.

Sam Green told The Associated Press that he was taunting the NBA champion with chants of "Angel Reese," because the Warriors player hadn’t taken any shots while grabbing seven rebounds. The Chicago Sky star had been called out for her rebounding numbers being inflated because she’s getting her own misses. But Reese turned the slight into profit as she trademarked "MeBounds" during her second year in the league.

The fan said the Warriors player shouted profanity at him and threatened to punch him out if the "Angel Reese" chants continued.

"I wasn't using profanity and for him to walk 12 feet off the court to come and get in my face like that, it was a little unnerving," Sam Green told the outlet.

Green said after the game that he was upset with the fan over the chants.

"He just kept calling me a woman," he said, via ESPN. "It was a joke at first, but you can’t keep calling me a woman."

It’s unclear if Green will be fined for the interaction. The fan was only given a warning and allowed to remain in his courtside seat. The Warriors player was fined $25,000 in 2022 for what the NBA described as "directing obscene language toward a fan."

Fan behavior has been a constant gripe from NBA players across the league over the last decade.
