Tragic Discovery: LAPD Searches Hollywood Hills Residence in Connection with Teen's Death
A Hollywood Hills residence was searched by the LAPD in connection with the discovery of a 15-year-old girl's decomposed body found in a Tesla owned by singer D4vd. The body was identified as Celeste Rivas, who went missing in the Lake Elsinore area last year. The cause of death is still under investigation. The girl's mother confirmed her daughter's identity based on a distinctive tattoo on her right index finger that matched the description provided by the police. The body was found in the front trunk of the Tesla at a Los Angeles tow yard after workers reported a strong odor emanating from the vehicle.
D4vd, the owner of the Tesla, is cooperating with authorities in the investigation. The singer's representative stated that he is fully cooperating with the authorities despite being on a world tour at the time of the discovery. The tour includes upcoming shows in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The LAPD is treating the case as a death investigation and has not classified the manner of death yet. The car was impounded after being reported as abandoned in the Hollywood Hills, where it had been parked for over a month.
The family of Celeste Rivas, who still resides in Lake Elsinore, is grieving over her death. Celeste's brother mentioned that she knew singer D4vd and was on her way to see a movie with him when she disappeared. The LAPD has not released any suspect information at this time. D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, gained fame through viral hits on TikTok and has a significant following on the platform. He is signed with Darkroom and Interscope Records. The investigation into Celeste Rivas' death is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding her tragic demise.
