Celeste Rivas, 15, ID’d as dismembered teen found in D4vd’s Tesla — as mom reveals she had boyfriend named ‘David’
California authorities have ID’d the dismembered teen found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to singer D4vd as Celeste Rivas, a 15-year-old girl with the same tattoo as the artist — and who once had a boyfriend named David, according to her mom.
Rivas’ mutilated body was found last week in the trunk of a Tesla sedan sitting in an impound lot in Hollywood Hills, a car registered to the 20-year-old singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke.
The girl was identified as Rivas, who went missing from Lake Elsinor, Calif., in 2024, Rivas’ mom told TMZ.
She also had a tattoo on her right index finger that read “Shhh…” — similar to one D4vd has, according to TMZ, although other celebs have the same ink, including Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan.
The petite teen wrapped in plastic and was so badly decomposed that it wasn’t fully intact and was first reported to authorities because the car started to emit a “foul odor.”
Authorities linked the car to D4vd, who has been “cooperating with authorities,” a spokesperson for the singer told NBC 4.
