The nightmare surrounding TikTok sensation D4VD (real name David Anthony Burke) and the gruesome discovery of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s body in his abandoned Tesla has plunged into even murkier waters, with a viral concert clip debunked as “not Celeste” by TMZ – leaving internet sleuths more baffled than ever. As LAPD’s probe stalls without naming D4VD a suspect, new leaks reveal fake IDs letting the teen pose as an adult at celeb bashes, untapped security footage from his manager’s $20K/month mansion, and a chilling February 2024 TikTok comment warning of his alleged ties to a “13-year-old.” With Celeste’s cause of death still a mystery and friends admitting they thought she was 18-19, this Hollywood horror is unraveling in real-time – is D4VD’s “cooperation” a smokescreen, or is the real killer still free? The confusion mounts, but justice for Celeste demands answers now.
No Suspect Yet: LAPD’s Limbo Probe – D4VD “Cooperating” Amid Mounting Suspicion
Weeks after Celeste’s mutilated remains were found sealed in a plastic bag in D4VD’s towed 2023 Tesla Model 3 on September 8, 2025, LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division remains tight-lipped: D4VD isn’t officially a suspect. “There’s not enough conclusive evidence yet,” sources confirm, though he’s far from cleared. The car was abandoned for days in Hollywood Hills before towing, stinking so badly workers gagged upon discovery.
Initial sympathy for the 20-year-old rapper – whose billions of streams and $3M Interscope deal made him a Gen-Z icon – has evaporated. Fans once theorized a car theft: “Shame his name’s on the title.” But D4VD performed that very night, unfazed, fueling doubts. Celeste’s mom told cops her daughter was dating a “David,” aligning with unearthed photos, her “Shhh” tattoo (matching D4VD’s aesthetic), and lyrics name-dropping “Celeste” in tracks like a leaked 2024 song. Post-identification, his European tour vanished, deluxe album yanked – but legally? Limbo. “Police are investigating actively,” insiders say, “but details are scarce – case far from closed.”
Timeline Turmoil: Missing Since 2024, Body Found Post-Birthday – Last Sighting or Red Herring?
Celeste, a seventh-grader from Lake Elsinore, vanished multiple times in 2024 (January, March, April) before her final disappearance around August. Reported missing as a 13-year-old, she was 14 when killed – her body discovered the day after turning 15 on September 7. Friends last heard from her in late August, per reports.
The bombshell? A grainy video from D4VD’s August 24 concert in Silver Spring, Maryland, shows a girl in a black tube top (Celeste’s reported outfit when found) on a VIP balcony near a man resembling D4VD’s associate. Fans exploded: “Last sighting – 12 days before the tow on September 5!” The secluded spot screamed “girlfriend perks.” But TMZ dropped a curveball Thursday: Sources “connected to the case” insist “the young woman is not Celeste Rivas.” The lookalike? Eerily similar, sparking obsession theories: D4VD’s music videos cast “Celeste doppelgangers,” and he was recently with another woman named Celeste (23-year-old Herrera, per leaks). “What’s his Celeste fixation?” netizens rage.
Fake IDs and “Mature” Facade: Friends Thought She Was 18-19 at A-List Parties
Celeste’s “relationship” with D4VD wasn’t hidden from his circle – but her age was. TMZ sources: Insiders saw her “frequently” at shows, kickbacks, and 18+ industry events, assuming girlfriend status. “She carried herself much older,” they claim – entering age-restricted spots unchallenged. Law enforcement confirms: Multiple fake IDs let her pose as an adult, slipping past bouncers. “Celebrities walk in – no ID checks to avoid chaos,” a Hollywood insider notes. D4VD’s fame? Likely greased entry for the duo.
Shocked pals: “We thought 18-19… Horrified she’s 14.” Her teacher told TMZ of runaways to Hollywood, friends whispering “blackmailing the rapper.” Runaways screamed grooming red flags, but decomposition (hot trunk accelerating rot) muddies the timeline – was she alive at that concert, or a fatal mix-up?
Mansion Mystery: $20K Rental’s Hidden Cameras – Manager Josh Under Scrutiny?
D4VD’s Hollywood Hills pad – rented by manager Josh Marshall for $20K/month since February 2024 – screams suspicious. Landlord to TMZ: Full security coverage (front, back, streets) – “No one comes/goes unseen.” But footage? Tenant-only access (Josh’s). LAPD raided September 17, seizing electronics and swabbing for blood – but camera access? Unclear. “Could be proof of who visited when Celeste died,” sources speculate.
Twist: Lease broken last weekend; movers hauled D4VD/Josh’s stuff by week’s end. Landlord: “No clue D4VD lived there – only dealt with Josh three times.” February timing? Eerily syncs with a deleted February 2024 TikTok comment under D4VD’s “Leave Her” promo (caption: “Me to everyone I tricked into thinking this was a love song”): “Waiting for LAPD to get your ass for messing with a 13-year-old girl.” TMZ verified it existed; comments now limited. Discord screenshots (unverified) hint fans knew of underage ties. Josh’s role? “How close were they?” questions swirl. “David stayed with manager – what did Josh know? Was Celeste there?”
Internet Chaos: “Fishy” Lyrics, Canceled Tour, and Fan Backlash – Justice in Limbo?
D4VD’s “Romantic Homicide” (“I killed you and I didn’t even regret it”) now haunts, with onstage caskets and “Celeste” nods. Pre-death, sympathy reigned: “On tour – innocent!” Post-ID? Streams spike ironically, but Crocs/Hollister ditched him. Fans: “Fishy… Walked around with her openly?” The sadness? A teen’s life dissected via fan vids and comments. “Freaky fans knew her age,” one laments.
Legally free (for now), D4VD’s “walking around” baffles. “Weird limbo,” the video host notes – cause deferred, evidence building. Will footage crack it? Manager questioned? Autopsy soon? Celeste’s family grieves via GoFundMe; probe vows resources. But delays scream injustice.
