Man accused of stalking Sophie Cunningham
A man faces felony charges after being accused of stalking and intimidating Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.
An Indiana man has been accused of stalking Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Kevin Singh, 48, was taken into custody June 23, 2026, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office announced in a news release.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Singh allegedly sent Cunningham, 29, numerous “threatening and explicit messages” using social media accounts, and his behavior began to escalate in February. The allegations against Singh date back to at least Sept. 30, 2025.
The messages, sent from the X account @Just_Kev_Kevin and Instagram account @just_kevin_or_kev, included sexually explicit content and references to his close location to Cunningham. “You’re literally down the street from me!” a message from April 23, 2026, read. The messages also included his phone number.
Security cameras captured footage of the man walking into Gainbridge Fieldhouse in September 2025 and leaving a package with a security guard. According to the affidavit, he told the guard that the package was from his daughter and intended for a player.
Sophie Cunningham press conference after Indiana Fever-Phoenix Mercury incident
Sophie Cunningham was one of several players to get a technical foul after an incident with the Phoenix Mercury. Here’s what she said after the game.
The package was addressed to “Sophie,” according to the affidavit, and when security opened it they found a Guns N’ Roses t-shirt sprayed with cologne and a letter.
The letter read, in part: “Your Metallica shirt gave me the idea to add GN’R to your collection; and I’ve tried everything else to get your attention (smile emoji).” The man also referred to Cunningham by name, thanking her for a “very special season” and including multiple heart emojis in his note. He concluded by writing: “I hope you hit me up! Your Friend & Fan.”
In a June 22 interview with law enforcement, Cunningham said she had read some of the man’s social media messages and was aware of the package delivered to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. She said when she first found out about the posts in February, she thought he was “another guy posting nasty things.”
However, as the messages continued, Cunningham told investigators, she began to have nightmares and stay in her home more frequently. She also said she felt like she was “always watching her back” and didn’t feel safe.
In the affidavit, Cunningham said she never replied to any of the man’s posts, adding she has never met him, doesn’t know him and wants him to stop posting.
The affidavit states the behavior became increasingly threatening to the point team security contacted Singh, eventually resulting in the criminal charges.
Singh is also accused of sending threatening messages to John Ball, vice president of security for Pacers Sports & Entertainment, after Ball sent him a cease-and-desist letter.
According to the affidavit, the state has requested an order to ban Singh from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, prosecutors are also seeking a greater-than-standard bond, home detention and GPS monitoring as conditions of his pre-trial release. The state has requested he be held without bond for seven days as it intends to seek probation revocation in an unrelated case from Hendricks County.
Singh is currently on probation there after pleading guilty to two counts of invasion of privacy in a prior unrelated case. Details about that case weren’t immediately released. A warrant has been issued in connection with his arrest for the past case, according to online court records. Singh is now charged with stalking and intimidation, both felonies, and harassment, a misdemeanor.
“Coming forward is never easy, regardless of a person’s position or public profile,” Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in a statement. “No one should have to endure harassment, intimidation or threats of violence, and every person deserves to feel safe in their workplace and throughout our community.”
Cunningham, who first entered the league in 2019 out of Missouri as a second-round pick to the Phoenix Mercury, was traded to Indiana in February 2025 from Phoenix as part of a four-team trade. She quickly became a fan-favorite in Indianapolis, taking on an enforcer-style role when things got chippy.
Cunningham gained nearly 1 million followers on social media after she committed a foul leading to her ejection in a game last season in which Caitlin Clark was poked in the eye by an opposing player. She stuck up for her Fever teammates Monday night against the Phoenix Mercury when there were six technical fouls in eight seconds after a kerfuffle. Photos of her involvement went viral on social media.
Her 2025 season with the Fever was cut short when she suffered an MCL tear in August that forced her out for the rest of the season. Cunningham re-signed with the Fever on a one-year deal for the 2026 season, and she primarily serves as a spark off the bench for Indiana, averaging 9.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
Cunningham also serves as a studio analyst for USA Network, contributing to coverage of WNBA games when her schedule allows. She hosts a podcast with Summer House star West Wilson called “Show Me Something,” which is based on the pair’s shared Missouri roots. She also is active on social media with 2.2 million followers on her TikTok page and another 1.5 million on Instagram.
It’s the second time a person has been charged with stalking allegations involving an Indiana Fever player. In July 2025, a separate man was sentenced to nearly 2.5 years in prison after pleading guilty to stalking and harassment.
