A shocking revelation has left fans and the public alike in disbelief: Singer D4vd, known for his chart-topping hits, has been named a suspect in the death of a teenage girl found in his Tesla. But here's where it gets even more chilling—the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, who had been missing since April 2024, was discovered in the front trunk of the singer’s car, which had been impounded in a Los Angeles tow yard after being ticketed in the Hollywood Hills. How did a young girl end up dead in a celebrity’s car, and what role did the singer play in her tragic demise?
According to Los Angeles police department sources who spoke to NBC4 Investigates, Rivas’s decomposed body was found in September, months after she was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, a town 60 miles from Los Angeles. The car, a black Tesla registered to D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke), had been parked in a Hollywood Hills neighborhood for over a month, with residents noticing it long before it was towed. Workers at Hollywood Tow eventually alerted authorities after detecting a strong, suspicious odor coming from the vehicle. Is it mere coincidence, or is there something far more sinister at play?
Police suspect Rivas died in the spring, and they believe D4vd may have been involved in dismembering and disposing of her body. However, the singer has reportedly been uncooperative with the investigation, raising even more questions. The cause of Rivas’s death remains undetermined, but the medical examiner’s office stated she had likely been deceased inside the vehicle for an extended period. The LAPD is treating her death as a homicide, adding another layer of gravity to this already disturbing case.
And this is the part most people miss: Just 11 days before Rivas’s body was found, D4vd had been ticketed in the Hollywood Hills for overstaying the three-day parking limit. The singer, a Houston native and New York-born artist known for hits like Romantic Homicide and Here With Me, was staying at a Los Angeles property in the Hollywood Hills at the time. Police later searched the residence, prompting D4vd and his manager to vacate the premises. He was on tour when Rivas’s remains were discovered but canceled all appearances shortly after.
Rivas’s brother revealed earlier this year that the family knew she was acquainted with D4vd and that she was on her way to see a movie with him just before she disappeared. Was this a tragic accident, or did something far darker occur that night?
As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: this case is far from over. What do you think? Is D4vd being unfairly targeted, or is there more to this story than meets the eye? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
