Singer D4vd Linked to Discovery of Teen’s Body in Tesla Trunk; Investigation Intensifies
LOS ANGELES, CA – The death of a teenage girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in the trunk of a Tesla belonging to singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke), is under intense investigation, raising questions about the circumstances surrounding her demise and D4vd’s potential involvement.
The investigation began after Hernandez’s body was discovered in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla, which had been towed from a Hollywood Hills neighborhood. Hernandez, from Lake Elsinore, had been reported missing several times in 2024. Authorities estimate her body had been in the car for several weeks before being found.
A private investigator hired by the owner of a Hollywood Hills home, which was rented by D4vd’s manager at Interscope Records, has been meticulously piecing together a timeline. Steve Fischer, the investigator, claims neighborhood surveillance and digital evidence suggest the Tesla was parked in various locations in the neighborhood starting in May, before being left on Bluebird Avenue just before D4vd embarked on a tour in late July. The remainder of D4vd’s tour was canceled last month amid the investigation.
The cause of Hernandez’s death remains undetermined, pending toxicology reports. While officials are exploring all possibilities, sources indicate the investigation is currently classified as a death investigation, not yet a homicide investigation. Theories range from an accidental overdose to other scenarios.
Adding another layer of intrigue, D4vd transferred ownership of his Texas home to his mother just weeks after the body was discovered. Furthermore, a “swatting” incident occurred at D4vd’s parents’ home in Texas around the time of the discovery. A fabricated 911 call claimed a shooting with a dead female victim had occurred, prompting a large police response. The incident was quickly determined to be a hoax, but raises questions about potential connections.
The LAPD remains tight-lipped about the ongoing investigation. “It’s an ongoing investigation and we have a lot of resources dedicated to bringing it to a conclusion, but to go beyond what has already been made public would be inappropriate,” stated LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell.
No suspects have been named, and no arrests have been made in the case. The investigation continues.
