Singer D4vd is under increased scrutiny after the body of a missing 15-year-old girl was discovered in a car registered to him.

A Shocking New Development in the Tesla Case

November 19, 2025: Rising alt-pop singer D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) has reportedly been identified by the LAPD as a suspect in the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose body was found in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to him.

What Authorities Know So Far

The decomposed remains of Rivas were discovered on September 8, 2025, in a Tesla that had been impounded at a Hollywood tow lot.

Forensic investigation confirmed the body was that of Celeste Rivas, who was first reported missing in April 2024.

According to law enforcement sources, Rivas likely died months before the car was impounded—and the LAPD suspects more than just abandonment.

Some sources claim D4vd may have assisted in dismembering or disposing of her body, though these are unverified allegations at this point.

So far, no formal charges have been filed, and the investigation continues.

Public and Industry Fallout

In light of these reports, D4vd has canceled the remainder of his U.S. tour, and major brands like Crocs and Hollister have cut ties with him.
His management has not issued a public statement about the suspect claims, and it’s unclear whether he is legally represented in this particular probe.

Why This Case Is Drawing Intense Scrutiny

The case raises serious questions about how well-known figures in music interact with underage fans—or people who go missing. According to investigators and reports, Rivas and D4vd had matching tattoos, which has fueled speculation about their relationship.
As the investigation evolves, the public is watching closely to see if the case will lead to criminal charges or a broader reckoning in entertainment circles.
