On Wednesday, the name of a teenage girl who was found dead in the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to singer D4vd (born David Anthony Burke) was released.
Per ABC 7, the 15-year-old named Celeste Rivas was reported missing from Lake Elsinore last year. The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office listed the official cause of death as “deferred.”
Rivas’ body was found inside a bag on Sept. 8 at the Hollywood Tow car lot near Mansfield Avenue and Romaine Street in Hollywood.
What did police previously state about the victim?
As ABC 7 reported, “The girl was described as having wavy black hair, 5 feet 2 inches tall, and weighing 71 pounds. She was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal bracelet and metal stud earrings. She also had a tattoo on her right index finger that said ‘Shhh…'”
Officers say there was a “foul odor” coming from the car. In a statement to NBC News, the Los Angeles Police Department said the following: “At this time, the LAPD does not have a crime classification from the coroner as to the mode or manner of death. Thus, we do not have any suspect information at this time.”
According to the New York Post, Rivas’ mother shared that her daughter once had a boyfriend named David. On top of that, her “Shhh…” tattoo is similar to one of D4vd’s own tattoos.
Who is singer D4vd?
D4vd, who boasts 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify, is best known for his songs “Here with Me” and “Romantic Homicide.” He released his debut album, Withered, on April 25.
According to TMZ, D4vd, who’s 22 years old, is currently touring and had a show planned for Wednesday night, but it’s been canceled. As of now, he has not been charged with any crime.
“D4vd has been informed about what’s happened,” the singer’s rep told NBC Los Angeles on Tuesday. “And, although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities.”
