Singer D4vd is considered a suspect in death investigation of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, source says

LOS ANGELES — The singer D4vd is considered a suspect in the death investigation of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was found inside an impounded Tesla in September, a source with knowledge of the investigation told ABC News on Tuesday.

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

The medical examiner has still not determined a cause and manner of death for Hernandez.

Rivas was reported missing from Lake Elsinore in early 2024. She ran away a few times and returned before her last runaway in April 2024. She called home at the end of May 2024 and had not been heard from since.

Authorities discovered her body on Sept. 8 after responding to a tow yard in Hollywood.

Officers went to investigate a foul odor coming from the Tesla, which police sources say had been at the lot for two days after it was found abandoned on a public street.

Police located the body inside a bag placed in the front trunk of the Tesla, LAPD sources said. The body was in a state of decomposition, sources told ABC News.

The vehicle was registered to 20-year-old singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, who has more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify and is known for the songs “Here with Me” and “Romantic Homicide.”
