D4vd faces scrutiny from law enforcement officials who now consider him a prime suspect in the death of teenager Celeste Rivas, whose decomposing remains were found inside his abandoned Tesla.
Although toxicology results have yet to be released by the medical examiner’s office, authorities are still treating the case as a homicide investigation, according to a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation that TMZ spoke exclusively to.
The investigation revealed disturbing details about the musician’s activities in the spring of 2025, with sources saying he made a mysterious overnight trip to a remote location in Santa Barbara County where he stayed for several hours.
The significance of the trip and its connection to the ongoing investigation are unclear.
In early September, Celeste’s badly decomposed body was discovered inside a plastic bag in the Tesla’s front trunk after the car was towed to an impound lot.
The 15-year-old’s body showed evidence of dismemberment and investigators believe the condition of the body suggested multiple people were involved in the crime.
D4vdr had been living at a rental property in the Hollywood Hills that was the subject of a police search for blood evidence. His Tesla was found abandoned on a nearby street and then impounded, leading to the horrific discovery.
No photos or video footage of Celeste have surfaced since September 2024, raising more questions about the timeline of events leading up to her death.
Los Angeles Police Department officials confirmed Monday that they are not close to making an arrest and the investigation is continuing. At this time, the department has not identified any other suspects other than D4vd.
Representatives for the artist have not yet responded to requests for comment on the allegations.
