Artist D4vd Supposedly Identified as Person of Interest in Death of Youngster Discovered in Tesla
The artist known as D4vd became named as a individual under scrutiny in the demise of Celeste Rivas, a young girl who disappeared and was later located deceased inside the artist's Tesla automobile earlier this year, based on law enforcement.
Discovery of the Remains
This decayed corpse of Rivas, fifteen, was discovered in this past autumn inside the front storage compartment of a dark-colored Tesla registered to D4vd, whose actual name is David Anthony Burke. This vehicle had been cited in a Hollywood area and subsequently seized at a impound lot in the city.
Sequence of Incidents
Authorities theorize that Rivas probably succumbed in the springtime, stating that D4vd had probably helped in dismembering and getting rid of the body. The musician has been uncooperative in the probe, as stated by a law enforcement insider.
The young girl Rivas was first reported missing from a city 60 miles from Los Angeles in April 2024. Her corpse was eventually discovered in the musician's Tesla after staff at the impound facility reported a strong stench originating from the vehicle.
Investigation and Authoritative Statements
The cause of death has yet to be determined, but the medical examiner's office stated that Rivas “appears to have been no longer alive inside the automobile for an extended period before being discovered.” Authorities are considering her demise as a murder.
Background on the Singer
This Houston musician had been issued a violation in the Hollywood Hills just 11 days before Rivas was found in the automobile, after violating the three-day parking limit. Locals in the Hollywood Hills reported that the Tesla had been stationed in the area for several weeks.
Celeste's brother stated that the family was informed that Rivas had a connection to the musician and that she was traveling to attend a cinema with him just before she vanished.
D4vd, pronounced as “David,” is a NY-native musician famous for the hits “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” The artist and his representative were residing at a LA residence in the Hollywood area in September, as stated by the property's proprietor, until authorities investigated the property.
D4vd has contracted with music companies. The artist was engaged in a concert series at the time Rivas's corpse were located, but terminated those shows subsequent to the location of Rivas's remains.
