U.S. singer D4vd’s meteoric rise from recording songs in his sister’s closet to global stardom has come to an abrupt halt after the body of 15-year-old runaway Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found decomposed in the front trunk of his Tesla.
Authorities have not named any suspects, and the Los Angeles Police Department continues to treat the matter as an open death investigation. The discovery has led to the cancellation of D4vd’s world tour, dropped sponsorships, and a halt to his music promotions, while speculation grows online about the teen’s connection to the 20-year-old artist.
Investigators say Rivas Hernandez’s cause of death remains undetermined, and her relationship with the singer is still unclear.
The teen, who had a matching tattoo to D4vd, had been reported missing multiple times since 2024. Police have collected surveillance footage from the singer’s Hollywood Hills home and data from the Tesla as part of the ongoing probe. Legal experts note the lack of updates has only intensified public curiosity, with many awaiting answers on how the teen’s body ended up in the artist’s car.
