New details have been released in the identity of a woman who was found dead inside a car that was registered to the singer D4vd. The body has been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, who had been missing since April 2024.
Rivas’s dismembered remains were discovered in the trunk of the car after employees at a Hollywood tow lot reported a strong odor. Rivas’ cause of death is still unknown, and no suspects or persons of interest have been named by the police.
The Los Angeles Police Department previously reported the victim was 5’2″ tall with wavy black hair and a tattoo on her right index finger reading “Shhhh…” She was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, a stud earring, and a yellow metal chain bracelet.
According to TMZ, D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has the same tattoo on his right index finger. The tattoo isn’t particularly unique. Other celebrities such as Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, and Lily Allen also share the same tattoo on their index fingers.
TMZ’ Charles Latibeaudiere told FOX 11 they got a tip last week and reached out to Rivas’ mom, who told them that all she knew was that Celeste was dating someone named “David”, although she’d never seen the boy. Rivas’ mother told the publication her daughter had been missing for more than a year and she was suspicious of the remains found in the Tesla.
Rivas was 13 when she was reported missing on April 5, 2024 from Lake Elsinore.
Following news of Rivas’ death, D4vd canceled his show in Seattle for Wednesday night as part of his “Withered” world tour, TMZ reports. D4vd had been touring during the ongoing investigation and police previously said he was cooperating with investigators. LAPD has not named him a person of interest or a suspect.
Not long after D4vd’s name was linked to the Tesla investigation, he was dropped by crocs and Hollister just days after he was announced as the face of their “Dream Drop” collaboration.
