LAPD Searches Residence Linked to D4vd After Teen’s Remains Found in Tesla

Detectives move to lab testing following a Hollywood Hills search.

Overview

  • Officers searched the Hollywood Hills home where the singer was staying and checked drains for biological traces, recovering several items for analysis.
  • The remains of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, missing since 2024, were found on Sept. 8 in a bag in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to David Anthony Burke.
  • The car had been towed to a city lot after reports of a foul odor, and the advanced decomposition has left the cause of death undetermined and the case not formally classified as homicide.
  • Police say no one has been arrested and the artist is cooperating; he canceled remaining tour dates as music partners paused promotions.
  • Investigators are examining signs of a prior connection between Rivas and Burke, including a matching “Shhh...” finger tattoo, a January 2024 live video, and archived Discord messages.
