All about the murder case of Celeste Rivas involving D4vd

The decomposed body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas was found in September in the front trunk of a black Tesla, which is registered to singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. The car had been ticketed in a Hollywood Hills neighbourhood and then impounded in a tow yard in Los Angeles.

According to the police, Rivas died in the spring, in all likelihood, and D4vd has allegedly helped in dismembering and disposing of the body. The singer had also not been cooperative in the investigation, the police stated.

The then 13-year-old Rivas was first reported missing from Lake Elsinore, 60 miles from Los Angeles, in April 2024. Her body was found in the singer’s Tesla after workers at Hollywood Tow reported a foul smell coming from the vehicle. The teenager’s cause of death has not been established so far, but in September, when the body was found, the medical examiner’s office had stated that Rivas may have been “inside the vehicle for an extended period of time before being found”. The LAPD is considering her death a homicide.

According to a TMZ report, Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman, who is overlooking the case, reportedly exited the grand jury room and confronted attorney Evan Jenness in the hallway of the courthouse. Jennese, who represents the witness, and Robert Morgenroth, D4vd's music manager, who had previously testified in connection to the death investigation. Moreover, Silverman informed Jenness that she would request a judge to issue a “body attachment”, which is a legal order to detain and force a witness to testify. The witness, whose identity remains undisclosed, had not shown up.

Silverman reportedly said she planned to have the woman taken into custody and brought before the grand jury. The woman appears to be represented by Jenness, the same lawyer who is advising Morgenroth. The music manager previously spent several days testifying in the closed-door proceedings.
