"Singer-songwriter D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is reportedly cooperating with investigators in a homicide investigation in Los Angeles, after the decomposing remains of a young girl were found last week in the trunk of a Tesla he owned. The body was found on September 8 at a tow yard in Hollywood, as KTLA reports, and it has now been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez."
"Hernandez was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, in Riverside County, in April 2024 when she was just 13 years old, and internet sleuths have noted that a user named d4vd appeared to be chatting with a then-11-year-old Celeste on Discord as far back as 2022. Celeste listed herself as "Number 1 fan" on a server apparently devoted to the singer and his fans. Hernandez's mother has said that her daughter talked about a boyfriend named David, per TMZ."
"And she had a tattoo on her right index finger that said "Shhh," which is the same tattoo that Burke has on the same finger. It is not yet clear how long Hernandez's body may have been in the trunk. The Tesla had been towed from the Hollywood Hills where it had been abandoned for an unknown length of time, as NBC Los Angeles reports. Burke played a show in Seattle Tuesday night, and a second show that had been added for Wednesday night in Seattle has now been cancelled, according to TMZ."
