Musician D4vd Allegedly Named as Suspect in Tragic Demise of Adolescent Found in Tesla

The performer known as D4vd has been named as a suspect in the demise of Celeste Rivas, a young girl who disappeared and was later found deceased inside the singer's Tesla vehicle in September, as per authorities.

Location of the Deceased

The decayed corpse of Rivas, aged fifteen, was discovered in the fall inside the front trunk of a black Tesla owned by D4vd, whose actual name is David Anthony Burke. This car had been cited in a Los Angeles neighborhood and then confiscated at a vehicle storage facility in Los Angeles.

Timeline of Incidents

Police believe that Rivas almost certainly passed away in the earlier part of the year, stating that D4vd had likely helped in dismembering and getting rid of the remains. The musician has not been cooperative in the inquiry, according to a law enforcement insider.

The adolescent Rivas was initially reported missing from her hometown in April 2024. Her remains was eventually found in the singer's Tesla after workers at Hollywood Tow alerted a powerful odor emanating from the vehicle.

Inquiry and Authoritative Statements

This cause of death has yet to be identified, but the coroner's office stated that Rivas “appears to have been no longer alive inside the automobile for an extended period before being located.” Police are considering her death as a murder.

Details on the Artist

The Texas-based singer had been issued a ticket in the Hollywood area just eleven days before Rivas was discovered in the car, after overstaying the short-term parking limit. Neighbors in the neighborhood stated that the Tesla had been stationed in the neighborhood for several weeks.

Rivas's brother revealed that the household was informed that Rivas knew the musician and that she was on her way to watch a film with him just before she vanished.

D4vd, spoken as “David,” is a originally from New York artist famous for the popular songs “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” The artist and his agent were residing at a Southern California residence in the Los Angeles neighborhood in September, per the residence's owner, until police searched the property.

D4vd has contracted with music companies. He was engaged in a concert series at the period Rivas's corpse were found, but terminated those shows after the location of Rivas's remains.
