Prosecutors target D4vd for a grand jury investigation
According to a petition requesting the attendance of an out-of-state witness, prosecutors stated that D4vd may be involved in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who may have been a victim of foul play. The petition identifies the singer as a target of a grand jury investigation. Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s decomposed and dismembered body was found around 10:30 a.m. on September 8, 2025, after the manager of a Hollywood tow company called the Los Angeles Police Department. The manager reported that a Tesla impounded since September 5, 2025, had a strong smell of decay that was attracting flies.

Investigators find the body parts inside the Tesla’s front trunk

After obtaining a search warrant, officers opened the vehicle’s front trunk and found a black cadaver bag covered in insects and emitting a strong odor. Detectives partially unzipped the bag and found a decomposed head and torso. Investigators and criminalists from the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner were called to the scene. When the bag was removed, authorities discovered that the arms and legs had been severed. A second black bag was found underneath with additional dismembered body parts. A citizen had first reported the Tesla abandoned on Bluebird Street on August 26, 2025.
“Upon removing the cadaver bag from the front storage compartment, it was discovered the arms and legs had been severed from the body. A second black bag was discovered underneath the cadaver bag. Upon opening the second bag, the dismembered body parts were discovered.”
Authorities confirm D4vd’s status in the investigation
The petition states that D4vd was on tour at the time the vehicle was impounded. The singer has not made an official statement regarding his involvement in this crime, but his representatives have affirmed that he is cooperating with the authorities. He has not been charged or named the suspect in the case, but grand jury proceedings remain ongoing.
