Who was Celeste Rivas whose body was found in D4vd's car - her mother says her boyfriend's name was David

The victim found inside singer D4vd’s Tesla has been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. Celeste had been missing since April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California. Her mother thought the body could be her daughter because of a tattoo on Celeste’s finger that said “Shhh”, as per the report by TMZ.

Celeste’s look was corroborated by the description police gave of the victim, including the marquee tattoo. Celeste’s mother, now sure of the identity of her daughter, then contacted TMZ for help. The tabloid news major then informed the LAPD—it’s Robbery Homicide Divison—for investigation. Celeste’s mother also shared that her daughter had a boyfriend named David, as per the reports.

The discovery in D4vd’s Tesla

The body was found inside a Tesla left in the Hollywood Hills. The car was later towed to an impound yard. Police opened the vehicle, which had a Texas license plate and was registered to singer D4vd. The Tesla was not reported stolen, but authorities still believe it is connected to the crime.


The victim was found wearing black leggings, a tube top, a metal stud earring, and a ‘W’ bracelet. Body parts of the victim were discovered in the vehicle last week, and police have been working nonstop since then to find out what happened. D4vd has been touring during this time but is fully cooperating with police in the investigation, as stated by TMZ.

Investigation underway

The exact events that led to Celeste’s death are still unclear. The tattoo identification by her mother helped police confirm the victim was Celeste. The LAPD is still trying to uncover all details and is closely monitoring D4vd’s role, but he is still performing and helping authorities.
