Overview

  • Police identified the deceased as Celeste Rivas Hernandez and confirmed her body was placed in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer David Burke (D4vd), with the medical examiner deferring cause and manner of death.
  • Detectives say the car appeared abandoned for weeks, was ticketed on Aug. 27 and Sept. 3, impounded on Sept. 5, and drew officers on Sept. 8 when tow‑yard workers reported a foul odor.
  • LAPD Robbery‑Homicide served a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills rental linked to the artist and removed electronics for forensic analysis.
  • D4vd’s manager, Josh Marshall, denied knowledge or involvement in TikTok comments and urged that only verified information be reported.
  • Records obtained by media show Riverside County deputies visited Rivas’ home 11 times between February 2024 and April 2025; no arrests or suspects have been announced, and Burke’s team says he is cooperating after canceling tour dates.
