The body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found severely decomposed in the front boot of a Tesla registered to the singer (real name David Anthony Burke) back in September. She was first reported missing when she was 13-years-old in April 2024, and the Tesla was found after it had been moved to an impound lot in Los Angeles. Up until now, investigators repeatedly declined to say whether or not they were treating it as a homicide, and shared that they were awaiting a conclusion from the medical examiner. Earlier this month, the victim’s exact cause of death was listed as “deferred”, and a statement later shared by police to NBC4 Investigates suggested that she may have died in the spring. It was recently reported that D4vd is being considered as a suspect and, while he was initially “cooperating” with the authorities, he is allegedly now being less cooperative. NME has reached out to D4vd’s management team for comment, but has yet to hear back. Neither D4vd nor his team have publicly spoken about the latest developments. Before it was confirmed that he was being considered a suspect, it came to light that the singer had been given a parking ticket in the Hollywood Hills just under two weeks before the body was found, and residents in the area alleged that the Tesla under his name had been left in their neighbourhood for over a month.
