The body found in a towed Tesla<\/a> that was registered to the singer D4vd has been identified as a 15-year-old girl, according to officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A decomposing female body was discovered in the trunk of the Tesla on Sept. 8, two days after it had been towed from a Los Angeles street, police sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the victim Wednesday as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. The teen, from Lake Elsinore in Riverside County, was reported missing last year and hadn’t been heard from since, investigators confirmed to ABC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The circumstances of how she died and ended up in the front trunk are unclear, investigators told ABC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cause of death is still being determined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division is leading the investigation. No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police responded to an impound lot in Hollywood on Sept. 8 “for a foul odor coming from a vehicle,” Los Angeles police said.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities located a body in the front trunk of the Tesla that was in a state of decomposition, LAPD sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim was about 5-foot-1 with wavy black hair and was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal bracelet and metal stud earrings, according to the medical examiner. She also had a tattoo on her right index finger that said “Shhh…”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim appears to have been dead for some time, adding to the complexity of the investigation, sources said following the discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tesla had been at the impound lot for two days after being found abandoned on a Hollywood street, investigators said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle is registered to 20-year-old David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, according to a senior LAPD source. It is one of several vehicles owned by the musician, with many different people using any of the vehicles at any given time, the source added.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC News reached out to his representative and lawyer for comment but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D4vd, who first went viral on TikTok, where he has 3.8 million followers, released his debut album in April. The singer, known for his indie, R&B and alt-pop sound, is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles on Saturday as part of his “Withered” world tour. The tour’s stop in Seattle on Wednesday was canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
