A man employed with a Times Square, New York nightclub confessed to murdering a woman during a birthday bash for rapper Lil’ Kim.
According to reports, 24-year-old Rahman Syed was arrested after he confessed to murdering Ingrid Rivera, also 24, and leaving her body inside of popular night club Spotlight Live on Sunday (August 3).
Rivera was thrown out of Spotlight Live because she was drunk.
According to police, Syed encountered Rivera and offered to take her to a friend.
When she refused his advances, he hit her on the head with a pipe in the building’s elevator shaft.
Family members filed a missing persons report when Rivera did not return home.
While Lil’ Kim was celebrating her birthday, New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the event was also open to the public.
Celebrities like Missy Elliot, Lamar Odom, Wyclef Jean, Busta Rhymes and others were at the event, which drew over 500 people.
“We will be taking a very focused look at that club,” New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. “These are advertised events. It was not a private party.”
