LAPD Source Says D4vd Is a Suspect in Teen’s Death Found in His Tesla

No arrest has been made pending medical examiner findings.

Overview

  • Celeste Rivas, 15, was found on Sept. 8 decomposed and bagged in the front trunk of a Tesla impounded in Los Angeles that is registered to the singer.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred the cause and manner of death while tests continue, and police say the teenager likely died in the spring.
  • Law-enforcement sources say the remains were dismembered and that the disposal likely involved more than one person.
  • An LAPD source says D4vd has not cooperated with detectives, despite earlier public statements from his representatives claiming cooperation.
  • Detectives executed search warrants at a Hollywood Hills residence linked to the singer and seized evidence, and he canceled tour dates as police also say they are not close to making an arrest and some reports note no formal paperwork yet names him a suspect.
