Overview
- Police say the 15-year-old’s decomposed, dismembered remains were found Sept. 8 in a bag inside the front trunk of an impounded Tesla.
- The car was registered to D4vd and had been reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hills, with neighbors saying it sat for more than a month before towing.
- Investigators are treating the case as a homicide and believe the dismemberment likely involved assistance from others, with the death thought to have occurred in the spring.
- The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not determined cause or manner of death as investigators await toxicology results.
- LAPD sources say they are not close to an arrest; a representative for D4vd says he is cooperating, though one investigative source told NBC4 he has not been cooperative.
