Woman Killed At Lil Kim After Party

A woman was found dead in a utility closet yesterday on the roof of Times Square night club Spotlight Live, the spot where Lil Kim had her birthday party.

The woman, 24-year-old Ingrid Rivera, was identified yesterday by her parents after her mother reported her missing following her Sunday night attendance at a birthday party at Spotlight Live, for Brooklyn rapper Lil Kim. Rivera, a Queens, New York resident, was last seen having an altercation with bouncers reportedly over her alcohol intake.

She was surreptitiously separated from her friends by bouncers and was never heard from again. The star-studded event was attended by Hip-Hop luminaries Busta Rhymes, Lisa Raye, Missy Elliot, and Wyclef Jean, among others.

Early forensic examination shows evidence of blunt force trauma. At press time, a complete autopsy report had not been completed regarding cause of death.

"When I was there, everything was cool," actress LisaRaye McCoy-Misick, a friend of Lil' Kim and the wife of the premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands, told The New York Times. A spokesperson for Lil Kim said that Wednesday night was the first that Lil Kim had even heard of the situation.

***UPDATE***

A low-level employee at a Times Square club has confessed to killing a Queens woman and stuffing her body in a rooftop shed during a star-studded party celebrating Lil' Kim's birthday, police sources said Thursday. Sayed Rahman, a barback at the Spotlight Live club, told investigators this morning that he targeted Ingrid (China) Rivera, 24, because she appeared drunk, sources said.

Rivera had been thrown out of the club, and Rahman spotted her on the street. Promising that he could get her back into the hotspot, he lured her to the roof, sources said. He then attacked Rivera, possibly trying to rape or rob her, sources said. Rahman then hit her in the back of the head and jammed her lifeless body in a rooftop electrical room.

Rahman, 24, worked stocking shelves and fetching ice at the glitzy club. Charges against have not yet been filed.
