Community Mourns Teen Found in Tesla Registered to d4vd as LAPD Homicide Probe Continues

Investigators are analyzing seized evidence with the cause of death still pending.

Overview

  • Officials identified the remains as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, with the medical examiner deferring the cause of death after forensic testing.
  • The LAPD’s Robbery–Homicide Division executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills address linked to the singer and recovered electronic devices and other items for analysis.
  • Police say no one has been charged or publicly named a suspect and caution that many alleged online links circulating about the case are unverified.
  • Following the developments, d4vd canceled remaining U.S., U.K., and European tour dates and label promotion was paused, even as his catalog saw a surge in streams and a Billboard 200 reentry.
  • Dozens attended a candlelight vigil in Lake Elsinore and a family GoFundMe to support funeral costs surpassed its initial goal.
