This performer known as D4vd has been identified as a person of interest in the death of Celeste Rivas, a teenager who disappeared and was later found deceased inside the singer's Tesla vehicle this past fall, according to authorities.
This decayed body of Rivas, 15, was found in this past autumn inside the front storage compartment of a ebony Tesla registered to D4vd, whose actual name is David Anthony Burke. This vehicle had been cited in a Hollywood area and afterwards seized at a tow yard in the metropolitan area.
Investigators suspect that Rivas likely succumbed in the earlier part of the year, adding that D4vd had apparently helped in dismantling and disposing of the remains. The musician has been uncooperative in the inquiry, per a police source.
The teenager Rivas was first reported missing from a city 60 miles from Los Angeles in last April. The body was subsequently located in the artist's Tesla after workers at a towing company alerted a strong stench originating from the car.
The cause of death has not yet been ascertained, but the coroner's office remarked that Rivas seems to have been no longer alive inside the vehicle for an prolonged time before being found.” Authorities are treating her death as a murder.
The Houston artist had been given a ticket in the Hollywood area just less than two weeks before Rivas was discovered in the automobile, after overstaying the short-term parking limit. Neighbors in the neighborhood mentioned that the Tesla had been stationed in the neighborhood for more than 30 days.
Celeste's family member revealed that the family was aware that Rivas had a connection to the artist and that she was on her way to attend a cinema with him just before she disappeared.
D4vd, referred to as “David,” is a originally from New York musician recognized for the popular songs “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” He and his representative were staying at a Los Angeles residence in the Hollywood Hills in September, according to the property's proprietor, until authorities searched the residence.
D4vd has signed with Darkroom and Interscope. He was engaged in a concert series at the period Rivas's remains were located, but called off those appearances following the discovery of Rivas's body.
