Artist D4vd Supposedly Named as Suspect in Death of Teen Discovered in Tesla
The performer known as D4vd was listed as a individual under scrutiny in the tragic passing of Celeste Rivas, a young girl who vanished and was later located deceased inside the musician's Tesla vehicle in September, based on law enforcement.
Finding of the Body
The decayed body of Rivas, 15, was found in this past autumn inside the front storage compartment of a ebony Tesla owned by D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. The car had been ticketed in a Hollywood area and afterwards seized at a vehicle storage facility in the city.
Sequence of Occurrences
Investigators theorize that Rivas almost certainly died in the springtime, adding that D4vd had likely been involved in cutting up and discarding the body. This artist has not been cooperative in the inquiry, according to a official insider.
The young girl Rivas was first noted as disappeared from Lake Elsinore in spring 2024. Her remains was subsequently found in the artist's Tesla after employees at Hollywood Tow notified a strong stench originating from the car.
Investigation and Formal Comments
The fatal cause has still not been determined, but the forensic office remarked that Rivas “appears to have been deceased inside the vehicle for an prolonged time before being found.” Authorities are treating her passing as a homicide.
Background on D4vd
The Texas-based musician had been issued a ticket in the Hollywood Hills just eleven days before Rivas was located in the automobile, after overstaying the short-term parking limit. Neighbors in the area reported that the Tesla had been stationed in the neighborhood for over a month.
Celeste's brother revealed that the family was informed that Rivas had a connection to the musician and that she was on her way to watch a film with him just before she disappeared.
D4vd, referred to as “David,” is a NY-native singer-songwriter known for the chart-toppers “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” The artist and his manager were residing at a LA residence in the Los Angeles neighborhood in September, as stated by the home's owner, until police investigated the residence.
D4vd has partnered with Darkroom and Interscope. The artist was on tour at the period Rivas's corpse were found, but terminated those appearances following the finding of Rivas's corpse.
