Investigation Continues into the Death of 15-Year-Old Girl Found in Rapper D4vd’s Car

The former landlord of rapper D4vd has enlisted a private investigator to look into the mysterious death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 15-year-old girl whose dismembered body was discovered in the trunk of a Tesla associated with the artist last month. The vehicle had been abandoned near the musician’s Hollywood Hills residence before being impounded, where authorities found the decomposed remains.

The Tesla, registered to D4vd, was seized after being abandoned in the vicinity of the property. Investigators have yet to identify a suspect, and six weeks after her body was found on September 8, there have been no arrests or charges filed.

The owner of the property, Mladen Trifunovic, stated that the private investigator’s work is ongoing and emphasized respect for law enforcement efforts and the memory of the victim. He also noted that the incident prompted him to terminate his lease on a $4 million mansion in the area, with reports of belongings being removed shortly after police raids on the residence.

D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has faced intense public scrutiny since the investigation began. The 20-year-old musician canceled upcoming tour dates for his album “Withered” and transferred ownership of two Texas homes to his mother amid concerns about safety following a swatting incident at one property.

Celeste Rivas was laid to rest at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in California. Her mother revealed she had been missing since she was 13 and had been dating someone named David. Social media sleuths have also uncovered footage of D4vd discussing grooming a girl identified as Celeste in a past livestream, alongside an unreleased song titled “Celeste,” adding to the public’s curiosity and concern.
