MARTINEZ — A Concord woman who ran over her estranged husband and two other pedestrians Monday before jumping to her death from the Benicia Bridge wrote days earlier that her divorce case was “a matter of life and death.”

Kimberly Goldman, 60, intentionally ran down the trio just after 10:30 a.m. Monday at a crosswalk after a family hearing at the Peter Spinetta Law Center, police said. She then drove away, despite the efforts of onlookers to stop her, to the bridge, where she crashed her car into a wall and jumped 100 feet to her death.

Court documents show that just days earlier, Goldman — serving as her own attorney — filed court documents where she claimed to have suicidal thoughts, and revealed that she’d made two “serious attempts” at suicide, most recently in 1996.

Goldman, who announced on social media recently that she had changed her name to “Kimberly Kincaid,” filed for divorce from her husband, Dr. Brian Halevie-Goldman, a psychiatrist, on Oct. 11, according to court documents. They had been married more than 27 years, and have two adult children.

Halevie-Goldman was the former medical director of the clinic at the center of the BALCO drug scandal. In 2006, he was accused of helping gold medalist sprinter Kelli White obtain illegal performance-enhancing drugs.

White was later stripped of her two gold medals. Halevie-Goldman had his medical license suspended for 90 days, records show.

The couple began having serious disputes about finances earlier this year, after some laptops containing private patient information were stolen from Halevie-Goldman’s car. Kimberly Goldman was emotionally shaken by the theft and blamed her estranged husband, according to court records.

When a risk-management consultant, Laura Mackie, was brought in to assist with the finances of Halevie-Godman’s psychiatric practice, Goldman reacted with hostility, according to a declaration filed by Mackie.

“The issues of power and control in this relationship are clearly defined by (Kimberly Goldman’s) widely recognized jealousy and need to control (Halevie-Goldman’s) interactions with virtually every female he’s ever known,” Mackie wrote, later adding, “It was becoming clear to me over time that (Kimberly Goldman’s) actions were those of a controlling and abusive mate.”

Kimberly Goldman, who referred to Mackie as a “witch” and a “(expletive),” admitted in court documents that she blamed her ex-husband’s carelessness for the theft. Referring to herself in the third person, Goldman wrote that she became “suicidal, beginning when (Halevie-Goldman) had the laptops stolen. She shared with him that she had a plan and serious intention to harm herself.”

Halevie-Goldman, in court documents, described his estranged wife as “abusive” and wrote she “constantly berates me and threatens suicide whenever she wants to ‘make a point.’ ”

Monday’s hearing, according to Kimberly Goldman, was “an emergency.”

“At the risk of being dramatic, it is a matter of life and death,” she wrote. “Petitioner (Goldman) has $0 left to her name.”

Kimberly Goldman reportedly ran over all three victims just minutes after the hearing was postponed. They went by ambulance to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek with moderate injuries and are expected to survive, Martinez police Detective Miles Williamson said Tuesday.

One of the three victims in the crash was hit more than once. That victim was a woman walking with Halevie-Goldman and another man.

Halevie-Goldman wrote in court documents that his estranged wife was “very jealous and suspicious of any involvement she perceived between myself and any female I encountered, no matter how benign and non-threatening the female may have been.”

Williamson said Tuesday that the woman was not involved romantically with Goldman’s estranged husband.

“This was not a lover’s quarrel,” Williamson said. “The female was with the attorney of the gentleman and not tied to (Halevie-Goldman).”

According to Williamson, Kimberly Goldman did not leave a note behind, and police are still investigating her motive.

The two suspects gave false identity information to the officers, said Capt. Scott McCrossin, and a press release was sent out using the wrong names and photos. The next day, the police department issued another press release, saying the first two suspects they had identified were innocent.

LaRon Campbell, 26, of Palo Alto, entered the plea in a San Jose courtroom Friday, where he was sentenced to more than 47 years in prison for a home-invasion robbery and attempted residential burglary.
