LAPD Homicide Probe Into Teen Found in Tesla Tied to D4vd Intensifies as Streamer Retracts Defense

No suspect has been named as detectives analyze seized evidence, with unverified online claims fueling public pressure.

Overview

  • Police identified the victim as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose remains were found on September 8 in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer David Anthony Burke after a foul-odor report at a Hollywood tow yard.
  • Detectives searched a Hollywood Hills residence linked to the artist and recovered a computer and several bags of items that investigators say will undergo forensic review.
  • Authorities have not named a suspect, and D4vd’s team has told media he is cooperating as his remaining U.S. tour dates were canceled or removed from listings.
  • Brands Crocs and Hollister pulled campaign content featuring the singer as industry partners reassess their ties during the ongoing investigation.
  • New, unverified screenshots circulating on Discord and X purport to show the singer referencing “a kid on the way,” while Twitch streamer JasonTheWeen has now walked back his earlier on-air defense.
