D4vd Linked to Death of 15-Year-Old with Matching Tattoo
The investigation into the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas has taken a shocking turn, with authorities revealing a tattoo on her body that matches one belonging to singer D4vd. Rivas, who was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California, was discovered dead in a vehicle registered to the musician. This vehicle, a Tesla, was found at a tow yard in Hollywood on September 8, 2024, following reports of a foul odor emanating from it.
Rivas was identified as having a tattoo inscribed with the letters “Shhh…” on her right index finger, which is identical to the tattoo that D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has on the same finger. Rivas’ tattoo was noted to be in red ink, while D4vd‘s is in black. Rivas was last seen in April 2024, and her disappearance had garnered significant attention over the past year.
Authorities from the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that they responded to the 1000 block of Mansfield Avenue in Hollywood after the vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills. The Tesla had been reported abandoned approximately one week prior to the discovery of the remains. Detectives initiated a death investigation upon finding possible human remains within the vehicle.
The connection between Rivas and D4vd deepened further when it was revealed that the singer first showcased the tattoo in September 2024. The design, which has been popularized by various celebrities including Rihanna, has sparked discussions around its significance. The tattoo’s visibility has led to scrutiny of D4vd, who is currently on his Withered World Tour and has been out of Los Angeles for over a month.
In a statement to NBC News, a representative for D4vd confirmed that he is fully cooperating with authorities regarding the ongoing investigation. The spokesperson indicated that the singer is aware of the situation and is committed to providing any necessary information.
Just days prior to the discovery, on September 6, D4vd took to Instagram to announce that he would begin media training, stating, “wish me luck.” He later shared updates about his forthcoming album, Withered Deluxe: Marcescence, expressing his dedication to maintaining the emotional depth of his music.
This investigation is ongoing, and the community continues to seek answers regarding the circumstances surrounding Rivas’ death. As the situation develops, all eyes remain on D4vd and the implications of this tragic incident.
