TMZ reported that D4vd and Rivas have the same ‘Shhh…’ tattoo on their right index finger. The entertainment website cited the 15-year-old's mother to report that she had the tattoo in red ink. The mom added that her daughter had been missing for more than a year, since April 2024. Her boyfriend's name was David.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was from Lake Elsinore, the Riverside Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Tuesday. "The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating this incident as a homicide and will be the point of contact for any further details regarding this investigation," the department added.

The body was found on September 8 after Los Angeles police officers were called to Hollywood Tow because of a foul odor coming from the Tesla. The vehicle was impounded and identified as D4vd's.

Officials said that the girl was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal chain bracelet, and stud earrings. She had wavy black hair and weighed about 71 pounds. NBC cited law enforcement sources to add that the remains were not intact and Rivas had been dead inside the car for an extended period of time.
