URGENT UPDATE: Pop singer D4vd, known for his viral hit “Romantic Homicide,” is now considered a suspect in the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. The shocking revelation follows the discovery of Rivas’ body in the trunk of a vehicle owned by D4vd, specifically a Tesla, which was found on September 8, 2024, in Los Angeles.
Authorities report that the decomposed remains of Rivas were located in a bag inside the vehicle, which had been impounded at a tow yard. According to a police source cited by NBC Los Angeles, D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has not been cooperating with the ongoing investigation into Rivas’ death.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office has indicated that Rivas had been deceased in the car for “an extended period of time.” This detail raises critical questions, as investigators are still awaiting an official cause of death, which could lead to potential charges against D4vd.
Rivas was reported missing in early 2024 after previously running away from home. She had not been in contact with anyone since May 2024, heightening concern for her safety. The investigation is now focusing on the timeline of her disappearance and the circumstances surrounding her death.
D4vd was actively touring when the grim discovery was made and has since canceled multiple shows as the investigation unfolds. The singer’s rise to fame has been significant, particularly among Gen Z fans, following the success of his debut EPs with Darkroom and Interscope. His music, which blends indie rock, R&B, and lo-fi pop, gained traction on platforms like TikTok, contributing to his viral popularity.
As the situation develops, many are left wondering what the next steps will be for D4vd and the investigation. Authorities continue to gather evidence and await further forensic analysis, which may provide answers to pressing questions surrounding Rivas’ tragic death.
