I received a page at nine twenty five p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2013 requesting me
to call Detective Richard Rott, I. D. 5232 of the Riviera Beach Police Department. I
called and spoke telephonically with Detective Rott who informed me that he was
currently located at 3119 Contego Lane investigating the suspected gunshot suicide death
of an adult white male with the body still present at the undisturbed scene and requests
that I respond. I initiated my response to the scene at approximately nine forty p.m. and
arrived at the scene at approximately ten fifteen p.m.
Upon my arrival at the scene, I met with Detective Andrew Hines, I. D. 5578 of
the Riviera Beach Police Department who informed me that the decedent is identified as
Mr. Alan Kleiman. Mr. Kleiman is a forty six year old white male with a date of birth of
January 22, 1967 who was found dead inside his locked and secured residence at about
six ten p.m. this date by his friend, Ms. Lynada Little, 561-951-0152 who had been
unable to make contact with Mr. Kleiman for several days and drove to his house and
was unable to get an answer at the front door. Ms. Little used her pass key to unlock the
front door and entered the house where she found Mr. Kleiman and called 911 with both
the Riviera Beach Police Department and the Riviera Beach Fire Rescue responding with
fire rescue determining Mr. Kleiman to be dead.
Detective Hines stated that Mr. Patrick Paige, 561-818-9208 is also informed of
the death. Mr. Paige is reportedly Mr. Kleiman’s business partner and he informed
Detective Hines that he last communicated with Mr. Kleiman via text messaging on
Sunday, April 21. The content of the text messages are unknown to Detective Hines.
Also, Mr. Louis Kleiman is reportedly the decedent’s father and legal next of kin.
Detective Rott is reportedly enroute at this time to inform Mr. Kleiman of his son’s of the
death.
Detective Hines further stated that from information obtained thus far from Ms.
Little and Mr. Paige, Mr. Kleiman has been wheel chair bound for several years due to a
remote motorcycle crash. At this time the details involving the date, time, location and
circumstances regarding the motorcycle crash are unknown. However, Mr. Kleiman
reportedly has been medically treated for the past several years through the Veterans
Administration due to the medical issues associated with the motorcycle crash.
Detective Hines stated that upon their entry into Mr. Kleiman’s house, Mr.
Kleiman was sitting in his wheelchair next the bed. There was a semiautomatic handgun
lying on the bed next to the body and what appears to be a gunshot hole into the side of
the bed mattress. Detective Hines further informed me that per Ms. Little and Mr. Paige,
that to their knowledge, Mr. Kleiman did not have any previous suicide threats or
attempts.

with only a few street lights. The house is surrounded on the north, east and west by
similar ranch style houses
The outside house doors and windows are all intact and there is no sign of a

sign of foul play, ransacking or anything suspicious. When I entered the house all of the
inside lights are turned on and the air conditioning thermostat is turned on to automatic
with the temperature set at seventy three degrees Fahrenheit with an air vent in the
bedroom blowing air directly on the decedent. There are several open alcoholic beverage
containers (beer, wine, whiskey and tequila) on the kitchen table, a wine rack in the living
room and on a dresser in the bedroom along with what appears to be dried feces and/or
bloody fluid in both a “tracked and spatter” type pattern on the floor throughout the entire
