In a tragic turn of events, the Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that the decomposed remains found inside a Tesla last week belong to 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. The young girl, reported missing for over a year, was discovered in the trunk of the vehicle registered to singer-songwriter D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. D4vd, known for his rise to fame on TikTok and a robust following on Spotify, was on tour when the remains were uncovered.
The investigation began on September 8, when a foul odor emanating from the abandoned Tesla prompted a tow company to contact law enforcement. Upon inspection, officers found the badly decomposed body of Rivas, who had been reported missing since 2022. At the time of her disappearance, she was just 14 years old. The medical examiner’s office has reported that she was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, and jewelry, but the cause of death is still pending.
Residents of the area noted that the Tesla had been parked for several days, with many mentioning a persistent, unpleasant smell. The discovery has sent shockwaves through the Hollywood community, where Rivas’s family and friends are mourning her tragic fate. Eyewitnesses described the scene as a haunting reminder of the unresolved case that has now taken a devastating conclusion.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, sources reveal that both D4vd and Rivas bore matching tattoos on their right index fingers. While the tattoo, which consists of the letters “sh,” is not unique and has been popularized by various celebrities including Rihanna, the coincidence has raised eyebrows amidst the ongoing investigation. Rivas’s mother expressed her concerns about the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s disappearance and the connection to D4vd, who is reportedly cooperating with authorities.
As the investigation continues, questions remain about how Rivas’s body ended up in the trunk of D4vd’s car, which has not been reported stolen, and why it was left unattended while the artist was on tour. The LAPD is actively pursuing leads as they work to uncover the details surrounding this tragic incident.
As the news unfolds, D4vd is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles this Saturday, but the gravity of the situation has left many wondering about the implications for his career and personal life. Fans and community members alike are left grappling with the loss of a young life and the unresolved questions that linger in the wake of this harrowing discovery.
