Earlier this month, the LAPD was called to N Mansfield Avenue for reports of a foul odor from what appeared to be human remains coming from a vehicle. KABC-TV reported that officials said that the body was in a Tesla's front truck and was wrapped inside a bag. The outlet added that the car is registered in Hempstead, Texas, to D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.
After the discovery, a representative for D4vd told NBC Los Angeles that he has 'been informed about what's happened. And, although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities'.
After Celeste Rivas's identity was revealed, TMZ reported that D4vd has canceled his Seattle concert, which was supposed to take place on Wednesday.
Celeste Rivas's mother told TMZ that the 15-year-old had a boyfriend, who was also named David. The outlet added that she and D4vd both have the same tattoo on the right index finger. The outlet carried a missing person poster published by Riverside County Sheriff seeking the whereabouts of Celeste, who was 13 when she went missing in Lake Elsinore, southeast of Los Angeles, in April last year.
D4vd has yet to react to the recent updates on the case.
