A Times Square club worker confessed to bludgeoning a drunken Queens woman and stuffing her body in a rooftop shed during a star-studded birthday party for rapper Lil’ Kim, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Thursday.
Sayed Rahman told cops he lured Ingrid (China) Rivera, 24, to the roof of the Spotlight Live club, where he may have sexually assaulted her before smashing her head in with a pipe.
“It hurts so much to lose her,” Rivera’s friend, Sasha Castillo, told the Daily News. “I can’t believe he killed her.”
Rahman, who stocked the bar and carried ice, told investigators he targeted Rivera because she looked drunk after being kicked out of the club, which was packed with rap stars like Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes and Wyclef Jean.
Promising that he could get her back into the glitzy karaoke joint, Rahman led her to a freight elevator and whisked her to the VIP “Penthouse” room on the roof, sources said.
Up on the roof, Rahman, 24, may have tried to rape or rob Rivera, Kelly said.
Rahman, who is about 5-feet-4, apparently snapped when Rivera resisted and used a metal pipe to bash her twice in the back of the head. Then he jammed her lifeless body into a rooftop electrical room.
He was charged with second-degree murder.

Police suspected Rahman early on because he was one of few employees who had a key to a restricted area of the roof.
Castillo said he tried to talk her into going up to the roof moments before he pulled the same trick on Rahman.
Cops found a bloodied pipe at the crime scene and are trying to match fingerprints found on the weapon to Rahman.
Hours later, Rivera, who had been drinking, tried to retrieve the flowers but inadvertently walked into the club’s men’s room, Kelly said.
A manager threw Rivera out. Castillo said Rahman then offered to show her a way they could sneak Rivera back in.
“He promised we could help her but instead he took me to the roof and groped me,” said Castillo, her voice trembling. “I told him to ‘f— off!’ and then ran downstairs.”
Castillo said when she was able to leave the club a short time later, she couldn’t find her friend.
“I couldn’t see her, and I thought maybe she took a cab home,” she said. “I didn’t leave her. I tried to help.”

Yo people are out of their minds…get ya life right people!
WOw, people are nuts! WTF? SECOND degree murder? Correct me if im wrong, but thats FIRST degree murder!
Difference is premeditation.
He didnt intend to kill her… he just intended to prob rape her… or get some. ::shrugs::
He’s still a loser for that shit. But see me… I’m not getting in an elevator with ANYONE… WTF?
Craaaaaaaazy, Deraaanged!!! sad that dude was that hard up for some trim he had to kill after being rejected.
Shaz
I guess!
that shit is wild… wwwoooowww… how CRAZY is that?!?!
No matter where you are, you have to stay on your p’s and q’s….
That’s fucked up
Sick fucker, he needs a max sentence for this and if he raped her too then he needs consecutive sentences, not concurrent.
I am Tired of hearing about dumb ass people who don’t have any respect for human life. I hope the system makes his stupid ass pay for what he did.

& can i be so rude to say what a last picture? Not how you wanna be remembered.. makes you think a little bit

Certainly not the best picture to be remembered by, but it looks like they were just having a good time! Poor baby did not deserve that at all.
There’s a miss type
shouldnt that be Rivera? anyhoo i just reread this.. Where were her friends? 1 said she didnt see her so she left? .. no cell phones? maybe thats how they get down on that side.. but I know if i dnt see the people i came to the club with at the end of the night.. there is def an issue..
This is an excerpt of the story…. I pasted the important parts. But idkk…
And nah that’s not how we get down on this side at all!!!! “When I move you move….” whether I’m dancing… walking… drinking… bagging a hoe (lmfao0o) or fighting… that’s the way it should be. Period.
Still unfortunate.
