The dismembered remains found in singer D4vd’s Tesla have been identified as Celeste Rivas, who had gone missing from Lake Elsinore, California in April 2024. 

The victim’s mother told TMZ that she believed her 15-year-old daughter matched the description that police provided.  

A decomposing body was found inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to the 20-year-old pop star last week.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department made the grim discovery after receiving reports of a foul odor coming from the vehicle.

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner say the victim has been identified, according to TMZ.

Earlier this week, ABC 7 Los Angeles confirmed the body found belonged to a teenage girl between ’14 and 15 years old.’

Police previously gave a description of the victim, who was a 5’1″ female weight 71lbs with black hair and a tattoo on her right index finger that read ‘Shhh…’

According to TMZ, she was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, a metal stud earring and a metal bracelet in the shape of the letter W.

Police later informed D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke, that his Tesla was in an impound lot amid gruesome circumstances.

‘D4vd has been informed about what’s happened,’ a spokesperson for the singer told NBC Los Angeles at the time. ‘And although he is still on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities.’

It’s unclear whether the singer, known for hits like Here with Me and Romantic Homicide, had loaned his Tesla to someone or if it had been stolen.

Police said the automobile had been at the impound lot for a few days, and the body placed in a bag inside the front trunk of the car.

Footage captured by ABC 7 showed police surrounding the car before it was eventually towed away.

It had Texas plates and had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills prior to landing in the impound lot.

He was made a musical guest appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this year following his Coachella debut.

Just days before he was linked to the abandoned Tesla, the hitmaker plugged the deluxe version of his debut album Withered.

He wrote to his 2.1 million Instagram followers on September 7, ‘Withered Deluxe: Marcescence OUT SEPTEMBER 19TH!!!’

The music artist added, ‘every song written exclusively by me on my phone baby, this is a passion project i put together to make sure i didn’t lose the raw emotional weight my music carries and how much it means to u all.

‘Thank you to all the friends who collaborated with me on this. everyone ATE THEIR VERSES UP ❤️❤️❤️.’

He has not posted on his Instagram grid since then.
