Singer D4vd Supposedly Identified as Person of Interest in Tragic Demise of Youngster Discovered in Tesla

The artist known as D4vd became listed as a individual under scrutiny in the death of Celeste Rivas, a teenager who went missing and was later discovered deceased inside the musician's Tesla car earlier this year, as per law enforcement.

Finding of the Body

The decomposed body of Rivas, fifteen, was found in September inside the frunk of a ebony Tesla linked to D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. The vehicle had been ticketed in a Hollywood area and subsequently impounded at a impound lot in the city.

Sequence of Incidents

Police theorize that Rivas likely succumbed in the earlier part of the year, adding that D4vd had likely been involved in cutting up and discarding the body. The singer has been uncooperative in the investigation, as stated by a official insider.

The young girl Rivas was originally reported missing from a city 60 miles from Los Angeles in April 2024. The remains was eventually located in the artist's Tesla after employees at the impound facility alerted a powerful odor coming from the car.

Probe and Official Comments

This reason for demise has still not been identified, but the medical examiner's office commented that Rivas “appears to have been deceased inside the vehicle for an extended period before being discovered.” Law enforcement are viewing her demise as a suspicious death.

Background on the Artist

The Houston-born singer had been handed a ticket in the Hollywood Hills just less than two weeks before Rivas was discovered in the car, after violating the 72-hour parking limit. Residents in the area mentioned that the Tesla had been parked in the vicinity for over a month.

The victim's brother commented that the relatives was aware that Rivas had a connection to the singer and that she was headed to see a movie with him just before she vanished.

D4vd, spoken as “David,” is a New York-born musician known for the popular songs “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” He and his representative were residing at a LA home in the Hollywood area in this past autumn, according to the property's landlord, until authorities investigated the home.

D4vd has signed with Darkroom and Interscope. The artist was engaged in a concert series at the period Rivas's body were discovered, but cancelled those appearances subsequent to the discovery of Rivas's remains.
