Shocking new information has come to light regarding singer D4vd and his alleged connection to a missing 13-year-old girl whose dismembered remains were discovered in his Tesla, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Celeste Rivas, a Lake Elsinore, California middle school student, was reported missing in May 2024 — around the time she was last believed to have spoken with her family. Her remains were found on September 8, the day after what would have been her 15th birthday, inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd. The 20-year-old artist was on tour when authorities made the gruesome discovery.
Following the discovery, D4vd has canceled his tour dates as the investigation into Rivas’ death continues. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that Burke has been cooperating with investigators and emphasized that he has not been charged with any crimes as of September 19.
**Discovery of Remains in Tesla**
The harrowing find occurred after the Tesla was impounded. The vehicle had been abandoned for several days near Doheny Place and Bluebird Avenue in the Hollywood Hills, close to the singer’s $20,000-per-month rental home.
While the homicide investigation remains active and the official cause of death has not yet been released, officials noted that Rivas appeared to have been deceased for an extended period based on the state of decomposition.
**Background and Family Statements**
Insiders revealed that Rivas had run away from home multiple times prior to being reported missing. According to one source, she maintained contact with school friends for over a year after her disappearance, but ceased responding to messages around July or August 2024.
Several sources claimed that the relationship between Rivas and D4vd was an “open secret” among their classmates. Although details are limited, it is believed the pair met when the girl was approximately 12 or 13 years old.
Rivas’ brother, Matthew, told local news outlets that the family was aware of the relationship and that D4vd often picked his sister up from school in the same Tesla Y model in which her remains were found.
Her mother, Mercedes Rivas, also spoke with the media, confirming that her daughter had a boyfriend named “David.” She revealed that the two shared matching tattoos on their index fingers, both inscribed with the word “Shh…”
**Photos and Videos Surface Online**
Disturbing images and videos of D4vd with a young girl believed to be Celeste have recently circulated on social media, prompting users to forward the content to law enforcement for investigation.
One photo shows the singer socializing with teenagers in Lake Elsinore, located about a mile from Rivas’ home. Another image, posted on the Instagram Story of a close friend of D4vd’s, features the singer and the girl taking a mirror selfie captioned, “luh calm pic.”
Additionally, a December 2023 photo shared on Discord depicts D4vd with a young girl resembling Rivas, though her face is partially concealed with a blanket. When asked in the chat, “aye whos the girl?” D4vd responded, “u are a feddddd.”
**Connection to D4vd’s 2022 Song “Romantic Homicide”**
Internet sleuths following the case have also spotlighted D4vd’s 2022 track “Romantic Homicide,” raising concerns about possible eerie connections. Notably, the song was released on September 7 — Rivas’ birthday — and the music video features a girl who bears similarities to the victim.
The lyrics have drawn particular scrutiny, especially the chilling verse:
*“In the back of my mind, I killed you / And I didn’t even regret it / I can’t believe I said it / But it’s true / I hate you.”*
As the investigation proceeds, authorities continue to gather evidence to determine the full circumstances surrounding Celeste Rivas’ tragic death. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
