Los Angeles police discovered the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas inside a Tesla registered to singer D4vd earlier this month. Workers at a Hollywood tow yard reported a foul odor after the car sat abandoned in the Hills for more than a month. Officers opened the front trunk and found a bag containing the teen’s remains.
Authorities confirmed her identity through forensic testing. Celeste had been missing since April 2024, last seen in Riverside County. While investigators continue to search for answers, speculation has surged online. Screenshots, private messages, and photographs circulating on social media appear to link the singer to the girl long before her disappearance.
The Discovery of Celeste Rivas
The Tesla entered police custody after neighbors reported it abandoned in Hollywood Hills. Tow yard staff alerted authorities on September 8. Officers found the decomposed remains inside the car’s front trunk.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner confirmed Celeste’s identity but has not yet ruled on her cause of death. The LAPD described the matter as a death investigation and has not named any suspects.
TMZ reported that Celeste’s body had a tattoo on her finger reading “Shhh,” a design also seen on D4vd’s hand in photos from late 2024. Celeste’s mother confirmed her daughter received the tattoo in red ink when she was 13. Police have not said whether the tattoo similarity carries evidentiary weight.
Online Evidence and Allegations
Screenshots from Discord chats dated between 2022 and 2024 appear to show Celeste identified as D4vd’s girlfriend. In one exchange, users directly named her as being linked to him, whose real name is David Burke.
Photographs circulating online seem to strengthen that association. Images show the pair together during video calls and in casual settings. Some posts suggest the pictures date to 2023, when Celeste would have been about 13 years old.
More troubling are screenshots attributed to Celeste’s private messages. In these exchanges, she allegedly described sexual encounters with David. In one message, she wrote that he became angry when she initially refused sex and that she eventually complied after drinking. If authentic, these accounts suggest possible grooming and statutory rape.
Community Reactions and Additional Claims
On Reddit, posts made before the body’s identification referenced a missing girl from Lake Elsinore allegedly connected to D4vd. One user claimed she had run away in seventh grade and was seen with him.
Other social media posts have added to the speculation. Instagram stories accused D4vd of owing money in Lake Elsinore and claimed he paid local kids to stay quiet. One widely shared photo shows him standing with a small group, allegedly handing over money. Another post recalled him admitting to giving someone money because he was with a minor.
None of these claims have been verified by authorities. Still, they have fueled a storm of online outrage. Fans and critics alike now question the singer’s history with Celeste and the timeline that led to her death.

Celeste Rivas disappeared at 13 and was found dead at 15 inside a car tied to one of music’s rising stars. The LAPD continues its investigation, while the public sifts through disturbing online evidence that appears to show a deeper connection between the girl and D4vd.
For her family, the case is not about speculation or celebrity fallout. It is about justice for a child whose life ended far too soon. The unanswered questions now hang heavily over both the investigation and D4vd’s future.
