This performer known as D4vd has been named as a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas, a teenager who went missing and was later discovered deceased inside the musician's Tesla vehicle earlier this year, based on authorities.

Location of the Deceased

This decomposed body of Rivas, aged fifteen, was found in the fall inside the front storage compartment of a ebony Tesla owned by D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke. This vehicle had been ticketed in a Hollywood area and afterwards seized at a impound lot in Los Angeles.

Chronology of Incidents

Police theorize that Rivas probably died in the spring, stating that D4vd had apparently helped in dismantling and disposing of the corpse. This musician has been uncooperative in the investigation, according to a official source.

The adolescent Rivas was initially reported missing from a city 60 miles from Los Angeles in spring 2024. Her remains was eventually located in the singer's Tesla after employees at the impound facility alerted a foul smell emanating from the car.

Investigation and Formal Remarks

This reason for demise has yet to be identified, but the medical examiner's office remarked that Rivas “appears to have been dead inside the car for an prolonged time before being located.” Authorities are treating her demise as a suspicious death.

Background on D4vd

This Texas-based musician had been handed a ticket in the Hollywood area just eleven days before Rivas was found in the car, after violating the three-day parking limit. Locals in the neighborhood stated that the Tesla had been parked in the area for several weeks.

The victim's family member stated that the household was aware that Rivas was acquainted with the singer and that she was traveling to watch a film with him just before she went missing.

D4vd, referred to as “David,” is a NY-native artist recognized for the chart-toppers “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” D4vd and his manager were residing at a Southern California property in the Hollywood Hills in this past autumn, according to the home's owner, until police entered the property.

D4vd has partnered with Darkroom and Interscope. D4vd was traveling for performances at the moment Rivas's remains were located, but terminated those performances following the finding of Rivas's remains.
