Body of Girl Found Mutilated in Rising R&B Singer's Tesla Released to Family
The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the death as a homicide after the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in a Tesla linked to singer D4vd.
- On September 24, 2025, Los Angeles officials returned the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez to her family after it was discovered inside a Tesla that had been seized and stored by authorities.
- Celeste had been missing since 2024, and her body was found on September 8 in an impounded vehicle registered to D4vd, discovered close to the residence in the Hollywood Hills where the singer had been residing, triggering an active police investigation without any suspects named.
- Authorities executed a search warrant at D4vd’s residence last week, collecting several items as potential evidence; meanwhile, a spokesperson for the singer confirmed his full cooperation with investigators amid public curiosity sparked by his dark-themed lyrics.
- On September 24, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell confirmed that numerous efforts are underway to resolve the case but withheld further information to maintain the integrity of the investigation.
- The release of Celeste’s body allows memorial plans to proceed while the case remains open, no charges have been filed against D4vd, and the community continues to express grief and suspicion over the circumstances.
