The body of a missing 15-year-old girl has been discovered in the trunk of a Tesla, which is registered to the singer known as D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas, had been reported missing since spring 2024 after running away from home multiple times. Law enforcement confirmed her identity following the grim discovery made by employees at a towing yard in Hollywood.
The Tesla was abandoned and transported to the tow yard, where workers noted a foul smell emanating from the vehicle. Upon investigation, police found decomposing human remains wrapped in a bag inside the trunk. Rivas was discovered wearing a tube top, black leggings, and had several distinctive items, including a yellow metal bracelet and metal stud earrings. Notably, she also had a tattoo on her right index finger that read “SH.”
Residents and workers in the Hollywood Hills area expressed their shock and disbelief at the news. Many were unaware of the tragic circumstances surrounding Rivas’s disappearance and are now grappling with the implications of her untimely death. “I really hope the person gets caught. I feel really bad for her and her family. I hope there’s some justice after all of this,” one local resident commented.
D4vd, who has been on a world tour during the investigation, has not made any public statements regarding the case. As the investigation unfolds, it has been reported that he was scheduled to perform in Seattle on the night of the discovery, but that show has since been canceled. His next performance is set for the Greek Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, though it remains to be seen if that will proceed as planned.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rivas’s death and the connection to D4vd. The case has drawn significant media attention, not only due to the tragic loss of a young life but also because of the high-profile nature of the artist involved. As the community mourns, many are left hoping for answers and justice in the wake of this devastating discovery.
