Overview

• City records show a parking officer marked the Tesla on Aug. 27 and issued a 72‑hour violation on Sept. 3 before the impounded car was searched on Sept. 8, when Rivas’ dismembered remains were found in the front trunk.
• LAPD Robbery‑Homicide detectives executed a Sept. 17 search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence linked to David Anthony Burke (D4vd) and seized electronics; the property owner says Burke broke the lease and moved out days later.
• The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the victim as 15‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, listed the place of death as the vehicle on Sept. 8, and ruled the manner of death a homicide with cause deferred pending further testing.
• Friends and industry acquaintances told TMZ they believed Rivas was about 19, citing her presence at age‑restricted events and reports she used multiple fake IDs, with both she and the singer having matching “Sshhh” finger tattoos.
• Police say Burke is cooperating and has not been named a suspect; his tour dates were canceled and brand partnerships were paused as investigators reconstruct the vehicle’s movements and timeline.
