Club Murder: Rahman, On Roof, With Lead Pipe

Posted Aug 7th 2008 7:59PM by TMZ Staff

NYPD says Syed Rahman, an employee at Spotlight Live, has confessed to killing Ingrid Rivera during Lil' Kim's birthday party.

According to police, the 24-year-old Rahman admitted to hitting Rivera on the back of the head with a lead pipe around 2:45 AM Monday morning.

Here's what cops say went down.

Police say Rivera, a huge Lil' Kim fan, paid to attend the event -- and even brought the rap diva a bouquet of flowers. According to cops, she and a friend chatted up Rahman while drinking at the bar. At one point in the evening, Rivera was kicked out of the club for accidentally walking into the men's room. At the same time, according to Rivera's friend, Rahman coaxed the friend up onto the roof by claiming Rivera was there -- that's when the friend alleges Rahman came on to her. When she blew him off, she says Rahman found Rivera outside and "told her he could get her back in."

Cops say Rahman took Rivera through the employee entrance, up to the roof in a service elevator and that's when he hit her over the head with a lead pipe inside a utility shed. She was killed instantly.

Rahman worked at the club for four years and has no criminal record.

2. Why do people confess to this crap. Keep your mouth completely shut. Zip it, immediately. The burden of proof is on them, not you. Whether you are guilty or not, keep your damn mouth shut.

5. WOW! I cannot believe some people are so angry in life and hate themselves and others so much, they spew such venom about a innocent girl being clubbed to death?? Are you serious?? This is NOT my home, this life if preparation for eternity. Some people need God way more than they think they do...they might be less hateful and more kind. Those who have been forgiven much, love much.

8. Post#2 "karen" - That's just wrong. It just shows that misery loves company. Karma is a bitch and you'll realize it when it happens to you.

13. she seems like she enjoyed life...was thoughtful enough to bring someone she did not know flowers...trusting enough to follow blindly...ultimatley causing her demise...and probably an all around good person...poor or not...thats a subjective presumption...but no one should take pleasure in a brutal death...not a website that sensationalizes it...and gives a forum to bigots and rasicts by posting and not deleting there crap...they are just as guilty....and speaks volumes about the folks at tmz...and i know they are loving this......my prayers to her and her family...and god help us all....we are in the midst of cultural suicide...

14. What ignorant, racist idiocy. No one deserves to die like that. I'll chant for you, you ignorant jerk off.

15. A life is a life. It does not matter what the color of your skin is, we all bleed red. No one has a right to take another persons life. And for someone to make a comment that she deserved to die because of the way she looks? You must have no respect for yourself or others. I am truly sorry for the sad, sad life that you must have.
