Authorities have recognized the decomposed body discovered in the trunk of singer-songwriter d4vd's impounded Tesla as Celeste Rivas, a teenage girl reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California, in April 2024.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Rivas was 15 years old. Her right index finger was tattooed with "Shhh…" in crimson ink, matching the singer's. Rihanna popularized the tattoo in 2008, encouraging Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan to have it in the same place.
Rivas’s mom reportedly told TMZ that, although he daughter had been missing for over a year, she was suspicious upon hearing about this month’s Tesla discovery because the teenager’s boyfriend was apparently named David.
A cause of death for the victim has yet to be released, but the matter is being investigated as a routine death, as per an LAPD spokesperson: “We are going to continue the investigation and when a determination is made that potentially there was a homicide, then it will transition into a homicide investigation,” they said in a statement.
