This performer known as D4vd was identified as a individual under scrutiny in the death of Celeste Rivas, a teenager who went missing and was later located deceased inside the musician's Tesla car this past fall, according to police.

The deteriorated body of Rivas, fifteen, was discovered in this past autumn inside the front storage compartment of a dark-colored Tesla registered to D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke. The vehicle had been ticketed in a Los Angeles neighborhood and then seized at a impound lot in Los Angeles.
Chronology of Incidents
Authorities suspect that Rivas likely died in the springtime, stating that D4vd had probably been involved in dismantling and getting rid of the corpse. The musician has refused to cooperate in the inquiry, as stated by a official source.
The young girl Rivas was originally declared missing from Lake Elsinore in spring 2024. The corpse was subsequently discovered in the musician's Tesla after workers at Hollywood Tow reported a powerful odor coming from the vehicle.
Inquiry and Formal Statements
This reason for demise has still not been determined, but the forensic office remarked that Rivas seems to have been no longer alive inside the vehicle for an prolonged time before being found.” Law enforcement are treating her passing as a murder.
Background on the Artist
This Texas-based artist had been issued a violation in the Hollywood Hills just less than two weeks before Rivas was discovered in the vehicle, after exceeding the short-term parking limit. Neighbors in the neighborhood mentioned that the Tesla had been left in the vicinity for over a month.
Celeste's sibling commented that the household was informed that Rivas knew the musician and that she was traveling to see a movie with him just before she vanished.
D4vd, pronounced as “David,” is a New York-born artist famous for the popular songs “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” He and his agent were living at a LA property in the Hollywood Hills in this past autumn, according to the home's landlord, until authorities investigated the property.
D4vd has signed with record labels. He was on tour at the time Rivas's remains were found, but called off those appearances following the finding of Rivas's body.
