In a shocking turn of events, the manager of singer D4vd has finally broken his silence regarding the gruesome discovery of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas's dismembered body in the trunk of his Tesla. The news has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry and raised more questions than answers about the tragic events that unfolded.

"I'm appalled by the accusations being made against me," Marshall wrote. "I've never had any dealings with Celeste or her family, and I certainly didn't kill her! How dare you make such baseless claims without any evidence?"

Marshall went on to clarify that he has no connection to the Hollywood Hills home where Rivas's body was found, stating that he lives in a different state with his wife and three children. He also emphasized that he works remotely 95% of the time and doesn't have direct interactions with D4vd or his team.

"This news is tragic for everyone involved, especially Celeste's family," Marshall said. "I hope the authorities can get to the bottom of this soon and put an end to these baseless accusations."

The time frame was February 2024 to April 2025. The visits to the home were due to 'minor crimes and suspicious activity'

But what really happened to Celeste Rivas? According to sources close to the investigation, the teenager had a tumultuous home life. Her family's residence in Lake Elsinore, California, was plagued by frequent police visits due to "minor crimes" and "suspicious activity." In fact, officers were called to the house an astonishing 11 times between February 2024 and April 2025.

One particularly disturbing incident occurred on March 19, 2024, when police received multiple calls about Rivas's whereabouts. A surveillance video from a nearby liquor store shows Celeste's sister stopping by the store, looking for her missing sibling. The footage also captures a frame of Rivas running down the street before disappearing from view.

Rivas's ex-boyfriend, Damien Hernandez, revealed that she had been open about her struggles with her mother and had even joked about running away from home in middle school. It appears that Celeste may have finally taken that step, leaving behind a trail of questions and speculation.

Lake Elsinore is a city in western Riverside County, California. It is a two hour drive south of Los Angeles. Established as a city in 1888, it is on the shore of Lake Elsinore, a natural freshwater lake about 3,000 acres in size

The investigation into Rivas's death has raised more eyebrows than answers. Authorities raided D4vd's Hollywood Hills rental home, searching for evidence linked to the teenager's dismembered remains. While no arrests have been made, the search continues for those responsible for this heinous crime.

As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: Celeste Rivas's death was not just a tragic accident – it was a catastrophic event that has left her family and loved ones reeling.
