Ever since a teenager’s body was found inside the Tesla of rising indie singer, David Anthony Burke a.k.a D4vd. It has put the young artist under intense public scrutiny. The case has received widespread speculation, especially after she was identified as a 15-year-old, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose mother claimed her daughter was dating someone named ‘David’ before she went missing. Although fans have questioned D4vd’s possible involvement, police officials say the situation is far more complicated than what the rumours on the internet suggest.
Have LAPD filed D4vd as a suspect in Celeste Rivas’ death?
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Celeste Rivas’ body may have been inside the Tesla for several weeks before authorities discovered it. The car had been parked in one location for a prolong period before being towed away. According to official statements by the LAPD, the vehicle was parked at the location from which it was towed for several weeks. So, there was a major possibility that Celeste’s deceased body was in the car for several weeks before the discovery of her body.
Despite the grim situation, the investigators have made it clear that D4vd has not been named a suspect. Police told TMZ, “We are not pursuing a suspect or person of interest at this stage of the investigation.” Captain Scot Williams of the LAPD confirmed it in a statement to PEOPLE and mentioned that they knew Celeste had died and someone had kept her body in the front trunk area of David Burke’s Tesla. However, it was too early for him to say anything about the nature of their relationship. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has yet to determine the cause and manner of Celeste’s death, which can reveal if it was foul play or not.
What did Celeste Rivas’ ex-boyfriend say about her shocking demise?
Amid the confusion around Celeste Rivas’ death, her former middle school boyfriend, 15-year-old Damien Hernandez, sat down for an interview with TMZ. He revealed that she had a troubled home life and often talked about running away. Damien recalled how Celeste once joked about leaving her Lake Elsinore home and simply disappeared one day. His mother, Jamie, supported his claim and shared that Celeste told them about the issues in her home. Expressing his regret for saying goodbye, he said:
“Like, no one cared. I don’t know, I should have done something.”

What is the latest development in the Celeste Rivas death case?
While the investigation into Celeste Rivas’ death case is being continued, some key details for the case have remained unresolved. The coroner’s office is still working to find out how and when Celeste died. Although the police stressed that no criminal charges have been filed at this time, authorities have acknowledged that someone deliberately tried to conceal her body in the vehicle. For now, speculation continues to swirl around the singer, even though LAPD officials have stressed that D4vd is not an official suspect.
