Owner of D4vd’s Former Rental Hires Private Investigator in Celeste Rivas Case

Six weeks after Rivas was found in a car registered to the singer, authorities have announced no arrests.

Overview

  • Homeowner Mladen Trifunovic says he retained a private investigator due to limited communication from police, tasking the PI with reviewing surveillance and gathering leads.
  • LAPD Robbery–Homicide searched the Hollywood Hills residence on September 17 and collected several items for analysis, according to officials.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner still defers cause and manner of death, and police say any criminal culpability beyond concealment of the body remains unclear.
  • Police state David Anthony Burke (D4vd) is not currently a suspect and has not been charged, and he has halted tour plans, paused his album rollout, and moved out of the rental.
  • Public fallout continues, including backlash to a now‑deleted Meek Mill post about the case and reports that Burke transferred two Texas property deeds to his mother in September following a swatting call.
