Tyler Hilliard, a 20-year-old UC Riverside student, has died in a possible hazing incident. Police are currently investigating.

According to reports, Hilliard was rushed from a fraternity hosted event to the hospital around 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 15.

Hilliard, a business major who was pledging the fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha, was headed into his third year at the university.

Hilliard’s family believes that hazing played a major role in Tyler’s death. Police are currently waiting for the results of the autopsy.

via KTLA:

Kimble-Hilliard said the version of events the pledge master gave her after she confronted him in the emergency room doesn’t add up.

“He said that they were about to go for a hike at Mount Rubidoux – they had not started hiking yet – and that Tyler was feeling short of breath,” she said. “Shortly after that he collapsed, and (the pledge master) called 911.”

The family claims Hilliard’s heart stopped seven times over the next few hours before he was pronounced dead.

Texts later uncovered on Hilliard’s phone indicate the Mount Rubidoux trip involved a hazing ritual, according to his cousin Robyn Fountain. She said she discovered messages referring to it as a “gold paddle day.”

Alpha Phi Alpha’s national organization says that the fraternity does not allow pledging or hazing of any kind. The fraternity did not respond to a request for comment from ABC.

UC Riverside issued the following statement about Hilliard’s death:

“The UC Riverside community grieves the loss of our student Tyler Hilliard. We’ve shared our condolences and offer of support with Tyler’s family and have made counseling services available to students, faculty, or staff who knew him. UCR Student Affairs and UCPD are collaborating with the Riverside Police Department to determine the circumstances regarding Tyler’s passing.”

This is just the latest unfortunate student death in the ever-changing fraternity landscape that is trying to grapple with the perils of hazing and alcohol-related incidents.

A University of Kentucky fraternity has suspended Jacob Heil, a pledge who is accused of hitting a 4-year-old boy on Saturday, September 15, while driving under the influence.

According to reports, the 18-year-old Heil was arrested on Saturday, September 15, for driving under the influence around 2 p.m. Heil allegedly hit a 4-year-old who was walking with his dad on Cooper Drive in Lexington during the university’s football game against Murray State over the weekend.

The 4-year-old tragically then passed away on Monday, September 17.

The national office for Alpha Tau Omega released the following statement about Heil, who is a freshman at the University of Kentucky:

“We join the community in keeping the young boy in our prayers. Officials with the ATO national office are touch with members of the chapter and university officials as we seek to determine details of what happened before the accident. ATO can confirm Jacob Heil pledged to the chapter earlier this week but has been suspended.”

In reflecting on tonight’s tragedy, SGA will be looking into solutions for transportation and other saftey issues associated with game days. Your input is always welcome: safety@uksga.org

Ames Police Department

Collin Daniel Richards, 22, has been identified as the suspect in the murder of golf star Celia Barquin Arozamena, who was finishing up her degree at Iowa State University. Richards was arrested on a first-degree murder charge after Barquin Arozamena’s body was found Monday morning at the Coldwater Links golf course, according to WHO-TV.

While the circumstances leading up to Barquin Arozamena’s death are still uncertain, authorities believe Richards assaulted her and that she later died from those injuries.

An official cause of death has not been determined at this time.

“We are all devastated,” Iowa State head women’s golf coach Christie Martens said in a statement from the university. “Celia was a beautiful person who was loved by all her teammates and friends. She loved Iowa State and was an outstanding representative for our school. We will never forget her competitive drive to be the best and her passion for life.”

Officers responded to the scene when an abandoned golf bag was found on the course. After searching Coldwater Links — which is just across the street from Jack Trice Stadium — Barquin Arozamena’s body was discovered. She was 22 years old.

“This is a tragic and senseless loss of a talented young woman and an acclaimed student athlete,” Iowa State University President Dr. Wendy Wintersteen said. “We mourn with her family and friends in Spain, her teammates here and all who knew her. On behalf of the entire Cyclone family, I extend our deep condolences to Celia’s family and her many friends and teammates at Iowa State. We are deeply saddened.”

Celia, a native of Puente San Miguel, Spain, won the European Ladies’ Amateur championship in July and was also the 2018 Big 12 champion and Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year. Our deepest condolences are with her family during this difficult time.

Celia Barquin Arozamena, 22, has been identified as the Iowa State University student that was found dead at the Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa on Monday, September 17.

According to reports, police were called to the Coldwater Golf Links course on the morning of Monday, September 15, after an unattended golf bag was found. When police arrived, they found Barquín’s body a short distance away and determined she had been assaulted.

22-year-old Collin Daniel Richard has been charged with first-degree murder in connection to the crime. The Ames police department says Richards has no known address.

Arozamena, originally from Puente San Miguel, Spain, won the European Ladies’ Amateur championship in July, won the 2018 Big 12 championship, and was named Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year.

via ABC:

Barquin Arozamena claimed the 2018 Big 12 Championship with a three-shot victory in April, according to the university, which called her one of the most accomplished golfers in the school’s history. She was finishing her civil engineering degree this semester.

“Celia had an infectious smile, a bubbly personality and anyone fortunate enough to know her was blessed,” Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. “Our Cyclone family mourns the tragic loss of Celia, a spectacular student-athlete and ISU ambassador.”

Barquin Arozamena qualified for the U.S. Women’s Open in Alabama this summer, one of the LPGA Tour’s majors, but did not make the cut after the first two rounds.

On Monday, September 15, we reported on the suspicious fires being investigated at a Washington State Univesity fraternity house.

According to reports, several fires were started outside of the Theta Chi fraternity house on Sunday, September 16. Police said that investigators found five separate ignition points near the Theta Chi fraternity house, including in the patio area and front of the house.

The Theta Chi fraternity house was not damaged and no one was hurt in the fire

Following a brief investigation, 19-year-old Isaac Scott DePaolo was arrested and charged with first-degree arson for his alleged involvement in the fraternity fire.

According to the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, DePaolo was also charged with two counts of second-degree arson for a dumpster fire and vehicle fire that were reported in the area and one count of unlawful entry into the vehicle to start the fire.

via Moscow-Pullman Daily News:

PPD detectives developed leads using surveillance video obtained through numerous sources. Interviews with Theta Chi members then lead to a named suspect. Although DePaolo is a resident of Cheney, he is not a WSU or EWU student.

The fire destroyed a wooden deck behind the fraternity house and was one of several fires discovered around the brick structure on the 800 block of NE C Street, according to a PFD news release Sunday. The release stated several fraternity members were awakened around 5:15 a.m. by the sound of the deck fire. They called 911 and tried to extinguish the fire with a garden hose and worked to keep it from spreading to the structure.

While a motive for the arson has not yet been determined, it appears that alcohol may have been involved.

Who Is Avon Stephens? Kings Plaza Mall Fire Suspect Arrested

New York Police

Avon Stephens has been identified as the arson suspect who started a blaze at Kings Plaza Mall on Monday, Sept. 16. The blaze — which occurred in the parking garage of the Brooklyn shopping center — caused millions of damage with 21 people, including 18 firefighters, suffering injury. All of the injuries were non-life threatening. The seven-alarm fire began around 8:30 a.m. local time, with 250 firefighters responding to the scene where they battled the blaze for nearly three hours.

“The black, toxic smoke, the heat, the limited area firefighters had to work in all made it very difficult to quickly extinguish the fire. Our members have various levels of smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion,” FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said during a press briefing. “Working under those conditions with this amount of smoke and this amount of heat, wearing what they wear, one can only imagine what they went through.”

The 23-year-old was arrested and charged with arson late Monday night.

Following his arrest, Stephens, who is on probation for attempted robbery, apologized for the fire that left dozens of Mercedes-Benzes destroyed. According to law enforcement officials, 137 luxury cars were damaged in the blaze.

“I’m sorry. I apologize,” Stephens said, via the New York Post.

The report adds:

He allegedly told police that he targeted the vehicles at Kings Plaza because “people are having sex” in them and he “doesn’t like the cars,” according to law-enforcement sources. There’s been no indication, though, that people have been actually having sex, the sources said.

The report adds that Stephens is known by mall security as a homeless man who sleeps in the parking garage and he was previously ordered to leave the location by police.

Stephens is set to be arraigned on Tuesday, Sept. 18, in Federal Court.

“It’s the biggest thing we ever done,” he said. “It’s quite extraordinary what the crew and the actors created. The last season is far beyond what we attempted before.

Karol G, born Carolina Giraldo Navarro, is a rising Colombian reggaeton singer in the growing Latin trap scene. Ozuna, Bad Bunny, Coscullela, J Balvin, Luis Fonsi, Anuel AA, Nicky Jam, and many more throughout the years. Her most recent single, “Culpables,” has led to some discussion about whether she is dating Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA.

Karol G studied music at the University of Antioquia in her home country before making the move to New York with the hopes of pursuing her music career.

The first breakthrough for the 27-year-old came with the 2013 Nicky Jam collaboration “Amor De Dos,” which blew up and became an instant sensation on YouTube with over 90 million views. A song with trip singer Andy Rivera, “Mañana,” also topped 90 million views on YouTube. Recently, Karol G was awarded the Inspira Award, which honors Latino role models for youth at the Hispanic Heritage Awards in Washington, D.C.

Karol G hopes her presence in the Latin trap scene can help narrow the gender gap in urban music.

“Women should be given more space in urban music. The genre has evolved a lot both on the musical level and in the lyrics that are now not so hardcore. It’s a good opportunity now for us,” she said in an interview with Primera Hora.

Glenn Allen Casdorph, a 30-year-old West Virginia man, has been accused by police of huffing paint and beating his mother with a spatula.

According to reports, police responded to a domestic incident with injuries on Thursday, September 13, and found Casdorph in the front yard of his property on McKinley Avenue with a large amount of silver paint on his face and hands and a large steel bar in his hands.

Casdorph, of St. Albans, West Virginia,  was arrested and was charged with a malicious wounding on Friday, September 14.

Casdorph was transported to the St. Albans Police Department and before being taken to South Central Regional Jail, where he is currently being held on a $10,000 bond.

via WCHS TV:

Police responded 10:45 p.m. Thursday to investigate a reported domestic incident with injuries. When an officer arrived at the scene, Casdorph was sitting on a bench in the front yard. He had a large amount of silver spray paint on his face and hands and had a large steel bar in his hands, police said.

The complaint said St. Albans police have had numerous work-related encounters with Casdorph and are aware that he frequently huffs spray paint.

The officer detained Casdorph and went inside to check on the condition of his mother, Robin Casdorph. Robin Casdorph’s head was wrapped with gauze, and there was a large amount of blood on her shirt and the back of her neck.

Tennessee Trucker Drives To The Carolinas, Rescues 64 Cats & Dogs From Hurricane Flooding

Tony Alsup has been identified as the 51-year-old year trucker and good samaritan from Tennessee who drove to North and Carolina to rescue 64 animals — 53 dogs and 11 cats — from potential flooding caused by Hurricane Florence.

Alsup, 51, drove a school bus from his home in Greenville, Tennessee, to several animal shelters in North and South Carolina, eventually rescuing 53 dogs and 11 cats from shelters that were in the path of Hurricane Florence.

Over the course of two days, Alsup stopped at the Humane Society of North Myrtle Beach, the Dillon County Animal Shelter, Saint Frances Animal Center and another shelter in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

According to the Greenville News, Alsup will transport the animals to a shelter in Foley, Alabama.

The Greenville News reports that this is not that first time Alsup has offered aid to animals during a natural disaster, as he rescued shelter animals out of hurricane zones in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico within the past year.

However, Alsup says his habit of hauling shelter dogs in a school bus actually began after a misunderstanding.

via Greenville News:

This was not Alsup’s first rescue. Over the past year, he’s hauled shelter pets out of hurricane zones in Texas and Florida and flown to Puerto Rico to save even more. Rescues like these have become a calling, Alsup said, although they actually began with a misunderstanding.

That was a year ago, as Hurricane Harvey was bearing down on Houston and Alsup saw a plea online for anyone who could help evaluate shelter pets out of the storm’s path. Alsup volunteered to transfer pets in his semi-truck. The shelters assumed he meant he could transfer dozens of dogs, while Alsup meant that he would carry a few in the cab of his truck.

Soon, Alsup had spent $3,200 to buy an old school bus, then drove to Texas to fill it with pets for the first time. He’s been driving into hurricane zones ever since. Sometimes he hauls supplies in. He always hauls dogs out.

While Florence was downgraded to a tropical storm when it made landfall on Friday, September 14, the storm has still devastated communities and killed at least 11 people.

Alsup’s Facebook page is full of updates as he makes an effort to help those in need.

University Of Oklahoma Has A Mumps Outbreak

The University of Oklahoma is dealing with a mumps outbreak. According to Oklahoma’s News 4, the Oklahoma State Department of Health has confirmed three cases of mumps at the university. Tony Sellars, a spokesman with for the health department, confirmed the news on Tuesday, Sept. 18.

“We’re just confirming that we are working with the Cleveland County Health Department and the university at this time,” Public Information Officer Jamie Dukes said, via the Norman Transcript.

The report adds:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, while vaccines protect against mumps outbreaks, they can still occur. Its website states outbreaks occur mostly between people who are exposed to a person with mumps over a prolonged period of time, “such as attending the same class, playing on the same sports team, or living in the same dormitory.” Symptoms of mumps usually start with a fever, headache, tiredness, loss of appetite, and later swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears or on both sides of the mouth. Some people will have mild symptoms or none at all and not even realize they have the virus.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health says it could take anywhere from 12-25 days for symptoms of the mumps to appear and those who contract the illness should fully recover in a few weeks.

Contraction of mumps can come from lengthy contact with someone else who has contracted the virus like attending class, playing on the same sports team, or living in the same dormitory. So while we wouldn’t necessarily suggest skipping out on class, it may not be the worst case scenario in this situation.

With week 2 of the fantasy season gone by, it is becoming easier to tell if your team has the legs to carry you to the playoffs or if you’re destined for the loser’s bracket come postseason time. If you are winless so far fret not, as you are only two games out of first place. If you followed my advice from last week and started Patrick Mahomes, you almost certainly won your week two matchup on the back of his six touchdown game. With some quick tips, you could make positive changes to your lineup and ensure that you don’t become the laughingstock of your league’s group chat. Outside of the superstars of the league, let’s take a look at the players who might be available for you on the waiver wire for week 3.

Top 10 Sleepers & Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 3

1. Desean Jackson

Instagram Photo

If you’re not already buying into the Djax hype, you should be. If he stays healthy, his obvious connection with veteran journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick is sure to produce dividends throughout the season. He is still available in many leagues, as Mike Evans is traditionally the only reliable Bucs receiver. With his speed and ability to catch the long ball, Jackson is a must add for any team in need of WR depth.


2. Giovanni Bernard

Instagram Photo

With Joe Mixon going down with a knee injury that requires surgery and will keep him sidelined for 2-4 weeks, Gio Bernard is the proverbial next man up. A solid pass-catching back with tremendous upside in this new lone back situation, Bernard is well worth the waiver claim if you are a Joe Mixon owner.


3. Jesse James

Instagram Photo

Tight ends are always in short supply, and it seems as though James and Big Ben have a red zone connection. In a season where the usual Steelers weapons are in unusual circumstances, James has the potential to shine. If your starting tight end is injured, look no further than James.


4. Nelson Agholor

Instagram Photo

The fourth-year Eagles receiver is garnering tons of targets, making him a viable flex play in dire situations. He may not be a free agent in your league, but it would serve you well to trade for him while his value is relatively low.


5. Matt Breida

Instagram Photo

The 49ers back was supposed to be a star after starter Jerrick McKinnon went down with an injury, but his timeshare with Alfred Morris seemed to have diminished his value. After a strong week two performance, Breida is a must add if available.


6. Dan Bailey

Instagram Photo

It is not often you see a kicker as a priority add, but Bailey’s prowess as a historically accurate kicker who didn’t have a job until this week makes him an exciting addition if you are without a reliable kicker. Minnesota’s offense has been producing, giving the newly signed Bailey high potential to get those precious kicker fantasy points.


7. Kenny Golladay

Instagram Photo

With Matt Stafford back to his usual gunslinging self, all receivers in the Lions offense stand to gain fantasy value going forward. The big body sophomore looks promising as Golden Tate’s role in the offense seems to be diminishing.


8. Antonio Callaway

Instagram Photo

The Browns receiver made a miraculous touchdown grab late in his week two matchup against the Saints. Now that Josh Gordon has shipped up to Boston, Callaway has room to grow as the second option in a middle of the pack Browns offense.


9. Taylor Gabriel

Instagram Photo

Matt Nagy’s high flying playbook sets up the speedy Gabriel for lots of opportunities going forward. If Trubisky can move the ball, Gabriel is a must add as a wr2 with high potential.


10. Dede Westbrook

Instagram Photo

Though the Jaguars offense is lead by the lackluster Blake Bortles, Westbrook has been reliable through the first two weeks. He is a decent addition if you’re in dire need of wide receiver depth.


High School Superintendent Under Fire For Saying ‘You Can’t Count On A Black QB’

Lynn Redden, the superintendent for the Onalaska Independent School District, found himself in some hot water after some racially insensitive comments made about Houston Texas quarterback Deshaun Watson. Redden went online to blast Watson following the Texans’ 20-17 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Sept. 16. Watson held onto the ball too long before tossing a pass to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, leaving the team no time to attempt a game-winning field goal.

That led to Redden’s outburst where he said: “you can’t count on a black quarterback.”

“That may have been the most inept quarterback decision I’ve seen in the NFL,” Redden wrote in a since-deleted Facebook comment. “When you need precision decision making you can’t count on a black quarterback.”

After saying he regretted his post, school superintendent Lynn Redden defended the post by questioning the decision making abilities of black quarterbacks:

"Over the history of the NFL, they have had limited success." pic.twitter.com/xDb49YmPCb

— Eric Macramalla (@EricOnSportsLaw) September 18, 2018

Redden spoke with the Houston Chronicle and expressed some remorse for his comments before making another insensitive comment.

“I totally regret it,” Redden said. “I wish it had never been posted.” However, he later added: “Over the history of the NFL, they have had limited success.”

Woof. Sometimes people just can’t help themselves.

Despite the public backlash for his racially insensitive comments, Redden has not faced any discipline for his remarks as of Monday afternoon, the New York Post states. One reader of the Houston Chronicle said that he hopes Redden faces proper punishment for his remarks.

“It’s important to make sure horrible words are met with consequences, especially for those in powerful positions with influence,” reader Matt Erickson told the newspaper.

Rice University Offering Free Tuitions To Qualifying Undergraduate Students

“Because talent deserves the opportunity, we’re dramatically expanding scholarships for middle-class families.” This was said by David Leebron, President of Rice University in his unveiling of their new tuition plan for students. William Marsh Rice University, widely known just as Rice University, is a private research university at Houston, Texas. Rice Investments is the name of the program that is set to cover full tuition for families who makes between $65,000 to $130,000 a year.

Any family who makes below $65,000 will receive additional help such as the coverage of fees and living expenses, according to the Houston Chronicle.

This practice is also similar to what New York University (NYU) has done for its medical students. NYU raised over $450 million dollars in 2018 to ensure that every medical student would receive free tuition, disregarding the economic status of its family. Last year, the University of Michigan also announced a similar plan, offering free tuition to in-state students with a family income up to $65,000 a year.

At Rice University, the average tuition for an undergraduate reaches over $46,600 a year, costing a hefty $186,400 cost for just four years of college.

For Rice University, the money for the financial plan will be stemming from a special distribution from the university’s endowment, reflecting on alumni’s dreams of keeping college affordable for current and incoming students. In doing so, this would be synonymous with the goals of its founders. When the university was first established in 1912, they did not charge students tuition for over 50 years.

Reconnecting the university back to its roots means a proud moment for the university to uphold and a blessing for all the future students.

Rice is comprised of eight schools:

  1. School of Social Sciences.
  2. School of Humanities.
  3. Wiess School of Natural Sciences.
  4. Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business.
  5. George R. Brown School of Engineering.
  6. School of Architecture.
  7. Shepherd School of Music.
  8. James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy.

According to the ranking in the 2019 edition of Best Colleges Rankings, Rice University is ranked No. 16, tieing with Cornell University.

Cerissa Laura Riley and her boyfriend Grant William Robicheaux, an Orthopedic surgeon on Bravo reality series Online Dating Rituals of the American Male, have been accused of drugging, sexually assaulting and raping potentially thousands of female victims over the last few years.

According to reports, investigators believe that Riley and Robicheaux have prayed on victims at restaurants in Newport Beach, Burning Man, the Dirtybird Campout festival and the Splash House festival in Palm Springs, California, over the course of recent years.

While two women have come forward as victims, investigators say videos found on the couple’s phones suggest they could have taken advantage of up to 1,000 women.

Riley, 31, and Robicheaux, 38, have been charged with rape by use of drugs, assault with intent to commit a sexual offense, and possession of a controlled substance for sale.

via The Orange County Register:

According to prosecutors, in April 2016 the couple met a 32-year-old woman at a Newport Beach restaurant and invited her to a party on a boat. Once she was intoxicated, prosecutors allege, the pair “escorted” the woman to Robicheaux’s apartment, supplied her with “multiple drugs” and then raped and orally copulated with her while she was too intoxicated to resist.

The 32-year-old woman contacted the Newport Beach Police Department the day after the alleged sexual encounter, and was found through a forensic examination to have multiple controlled substances in her system.

On Oct. 2, 2016, prosecutors allege Robicheaux and Riley met a woman at a Newport Beach bar, and drank with her “until the victims was no longer conscious.” They brought her back to Robicheaux’s apartment, prosecutors said, and sexually assaulted her until she woke up and screamed for help, prompting a neighbor to call police.

On Jan. 9, 2018, police searched Robicheaux’s apartment and found “large quantities of illegal drugs” – described by Rackauckas as ecstasy, date-rape drugs and cocaine – and two “illegal, unregistered assault rifles,” along with four other firearms and some large-capacity magazines, prosecutors said.

Furthermore, Robicheaux is also accused of possessing two illegal, unregistered assault rifles, four other firearms, and several large-capacity magazines. Riley was also knowingly in possession of a firearm.

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said that the victims “might have felt a false sense of security” around the pair because they are “clean-cut and good looking.”

“We have all heard of a wolf dressed up in sheep’s clothing,” Rackauckas said. “Well, a wolf can wear scrubs or doctors’ clothing. Or the wolf can be a beautiful woman,” Rackauckas said.

If found guilty, Robicheaux faces 40 years in prison while Riley faces over 30 years.

They are scheduled to appear in court on October 25.
