The dismembered remains found in singer D4vd's Tesla have been identified as Celeste Rivas, who had gone missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024, pictured in April 2025

SHOCKING DISCOVERY ROCKS MUSIC INDUSTRY: D4vd's Car Confirmed to be Scene of Crime

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the remains of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas have been identified in singer D4vd's car, leaving fans and authorities stunned. The tragic discovery has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with many questioning how this could happen under their noses.

According to records obtained by thescholarlynote.com from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the manner of death for Celeste Rivas is still pending further investigation. However, it's clear that her life was cut short in a horrific manner - and now D4vd's world tour has come to an abrupt halt.

The victim's mother told TMZ that she believed her daughter matched police's description

The young singer, known for his chart-topping hits "Here with Me" and "Romantic Homicide," had been on the road since January, performing to sold-out crowds across the globe. But behind the glitz and glamour of stardom, a dark secret was lurking in the shadows.

Sources close to the investigation reveal that D4vd's Tesla, registered to his real name David Anthony Burke, had been parked at an impound lot for days. It wasn't until reports of a foul odor wafting from the vehicle that police were alerted, and what they found inside the trunk will haunt them forever.

Celeste Rivas, who went missing in April last year, was just 13 when she disappeared from Lake Elsinore, California. Her mother had been frantically searching for her daughter, posting flyers and scouring social media for any sign of Celeste's whereabouts. But as time ticked by, hope began to dwindle.

However, the shocking discovery in D4vd's car has reignited a glimmer of hope - albeit a heartbreaking one. As officials confirm that the remains found in the Tesla match the description of the missing teenager, questions are being raised about how this could have happened under D4vd's nose.

According to eyewitnesses, the singer was reportedly on tour at the time of Celeste's disappearance and had loaned his car to someone else or possibly even used a service like Uber. But as the investigation unfolds, it's becoming increasingly clear that there are more questions than answers.

TMZ broke the news earlier this week, citing sources within the LAPD who confirmed that the body found in D4vd's Tesla was that of a teenager between 14 and 15 years old. While police initially released a description of a female with black hair and a tattoo on her right index finger, it now appears that the victim was indeed Celeste Rivas.

In a bizarre twist, police also confirmed that the body was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, a metal stud earring, and a metal bracelet shaped like the letter W. The items were eerily similar to those described on the missing poster circulated by Celeste's mother.

D4vd has been informed about the horrific discovery and is reportedly cooperating with authorities. However, as his world tour comes to an abrupt halt, fans are left wondering how this could have happened under their noses.

As news of the shocking discovery spreads like wildfire, D4vd's social media accounts have gone eerily quiet. His last post on Instagram was a tantalizing tease about his upcoming deluxe album "Withered," which is set for release next month. But now, all eyes are fixed on the singer as he faces one of the darkest moments in his young career.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as more information comes to light.
