The decomposing body was found in the front trunk (also known as the "frunk") of a Tesla registered to the singer D4vd. The Tesla was located in an impound lot in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. The car had been towed to the lot after being found abandoned on a Hollywood street. The body was discovered on September 8, 2025, two days after the Tesla was towed. Authorities responded to reports of a foul odor coming from the vehicle at the impound lot. The victim, later identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas from the Inland Empire, had been missing for nearly 18 months before her remains were found in the Tesla. The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery-Homicide Division, but the cause of death has not yet been determined. Additionally, police searched a Los Angeles home in the Hollywood Hills area where D4vd had been staying before his tour. This home is located just a few blocks from where the Tesla was originally parked before it was towed. In summary:
