This artist known as D4vd was listed as a suspect in the tragic passing of Celeste Rivas, a young girl who vanished and was later found deceased inside the artist's Tesla automobile this past fall, according to police.

Location of the Deceased

The deteriorated remains of Rivas, fifteen, was located in the fall inside the frunk of a ebony Tesla linked to D4vd, whose actual name is David Anthony Burke. This car had been issued a violation in a Hollywood Hills and subsequently confiscated at a impound lot in the metropolitan area.

Timeline of Incidents

Authorities theorize that Rivas almost certainly died in the earlier part of the year, noting that D4vd had probably assisted in dismembering and getting rid of the corpse. The musician has refused to cooperate in the inquiry, as stated by a police representative.

This adolescent Rivas was originally reported missing from her hometown in spring 2024. Her body was eventually discovered in the artist's Tesla after staff at Hollywood Tow alerted a powerful odor coming from the vehicle.

Inquiry and Official Statements

This fatal cause has still not been determined, but the coroner's office remarked that Rivas “appears to have been deceased inside the car for an extended period before being found.” Authorities are viewing her demise as a murder.

Background on D4vd

This Texas-based singer had been given a violation in the Los Angeles neighborhood just eleven days before Rivas was discovered in the automobile, after overstaying the 72-hour parking limit. Locals in the Hollywood Hills reported that the Tesla had been parked in the vicinity for over a month.

The victim's brother revealed that the family was informed that Rivas was acquainted with the artist and that she was traveling to watch a film with him just before she disappeared.

D4vd, pronounced as “David,” is a New York-born musician recognized for the chart-toppers “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” The artist and his representative were staying at a Los Angeles property in the Hollywood Hills in the fall, as stated by the property's landlord, until authorities searched the residence.

D4vd has contracted with Darkroom and Interscope. The artist was engaged in a concert series at the period Rivas's remains were discovered, but called off those shows subsequent to the discovery of Rivas's corpse.
