[Ice]

After a blood moon it was displayed on the screen "riley has been killed" but I don't know an npc named riley, why would it display this?

Riley is a travelling merchant name.

Oh, alright, thanks.

Riley is a possible name for the traveling merchant, so that was probably him.
Jimmy is a possible name for the Angler npc, who doesn't die, but "leaves" in a puff of smoke, being a child and all. The message is different than for other npcs, but the result is the same, he was "killed" and another one will respawn later.

He's also a traveling merchant

They normally spawn around your house, so mobs kill them
