Investigation Links Singer D4vd to Teen’s Body Found in Tesla

Los Angeles County is currently investigating the singer D4vd in connection to the death of a teenage girl. The decomposed body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in a Tesla linked to D4vd, whose real name is David Burke. The artist was 20 years old at the time of the investigation, and the body was discovered in September 2023, just after Hernandez’s 15th birthday.

Key Details of the Investigation

Prosecutors have labeled D4vd as the target of a grand jury investigation, following a subpoena issued on January 15, 2024. This subpoena demands testimony from three of D4vd’s family members. The sealed court documents were made public after an appeal by the singer’s relatives in Texas.

• D4vd was born in Houston and is known for his alt-pop music.
• The Tesla, a Model Y registered in his name, had been towed from an upscale area in Hollywood Hills.
• Authorities discovered a cadaver bag containing the remains of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
• The girl had been reported missing by her family in 2024, having disappeared in Lake Elsinore, California.

Discovery of the Remains

The police investigation uncovered the decomposed body wrapped in a cadaver bag inside the car. Initial reports indicated that the remains were badly degraded, and the Medical Examiner’s Office retrieved the body for further analysis. Hernandez had reportedly been missing for some time before the discovery.

Legal Proceedings and Responses

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has yet to comment on the ongoing case. D4vd’s representatives also did not provide an immediate response after inquiries regarding the investigation.

Circumstances Surrounding D4vd

Amidst the investigation, D4vd maintained his concert schedule, continuing his U.S. tour after the body’s discovery. However, as media coverage intensified, all remaining shows, including a European tour, were eventually canceled.

Background on D4vd

D4vd rose to fame with the viral hit “Romantic Homicide,” which climbed to No. 4 on Billboard’s charts. He has released his debut EP, “Petals to Thorns,” and a follow-up titled “The Lost Petals” in 2023.

This ongoing investigation highlights serious allegations involving a prominent young artist and raises troubling questions surrounding the death of a young girl. Further developments in the case and the upcoming testimonies from D4vd’s family will provide more clarity on this disturbing incident.
