Singer D4vd is facing one of the darkest moments of his young career. Authorities say he has been identified as a suspect in connection with the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered and decomposed body was found on September 8 in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to him.
Police sources say the body was in such an advanced state of decomposition that it had likely been inside the car for several weeks. Investigators believe she died in the spring of 2025, and that the process of dismembering and disposing of her body “likely involved more than one person.”
Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024 when she was just 13. Her remains were found about 70 miles away in Hollywood. The Tesla had been abandoned and impounded at a tow yard after residents noticed a strong odor.
D4vd has not been arrested or charged yet, but the LAPD has flagged him as a suspect. Sources say he has not been fully cooperative in the investigation. His tour was cancelled, and brands dropped him following the discovery.
The case raises serious questions: How did a young up-and-coming singer’s vehicle become the site of such a tragedy? What was the connection between D4vd and Celeste? Were others involved in the disposal of her body? Investigators are pursuing digital forensics, communication logs and multiple persons of interest.
As the investigation continues, Celeste’s family is still seeking answers and justice. For now, the focus remains on uncovering the full truth behind this horrifying incident and establishing accountability.
