The woman who was murdered after Lil Kim’s birthday party was a fan who was hoping to meet the MC and had even brought birthday flowers; she met her alleged attacker when she was trying to find a place to stow the bouquet. Ingrid Rivera, a 24-year-old New York resident who was found bludgeoned to death on the roof of the Times Square party venue Spotlight Live, met Syed Rahman while he was working as a barback at the club; later that evening, Rahman allegedly made sexual advances toward Rivera’s friend, then lured Rivera up to the roof, where he attacked her with a pipe. Lil Kim said through her spokesman that she mourned Rivera’s death, although she did not mention whether or not the two had met during the party. [NYT]
