The body of a 24-year-old woman who attended a birthday party for the rapper Lil’ Kim on Sunday was found Wednesday on the roof of the Midtown karaoke club where the party was held, the police said. The woman, identified by the police as Ingrid Rivera of Queens, was discovered shortly before 5 p.m. in a utility closet on the roof of Spotlight Live. An investigator said they believed the woman had left the party and was beaten with a blunt object — possibly a Champagne bottle — and left for dead.
The police said that she was last seen on Sunday night and was reported missing on Tuesday. The actress LisaRaye McCoy-Misick, who is married to the premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands and is a friend of Lil’ Kim’s, attended the party, and said in a telephone interview early Thursday morning: “When I was there, everything was cool. But we didn’t stay very long. Celebrities never do. And everything was fine then.”
The investigator said that the killer was probably familiar with the layout of the building because of where the woman’s body was found. Emergency medical workers pronounced the victim dead at the scene, the police said. NY Times
