From Josette Caruso on X:
On September 17, 2025, reports confirmed that singer D4vd and Celeste Rivas, the 15-year-old girl whose body was found in a car registered to him, both have a "Shhh..." tattoo on their right index finger. Rivas's body was discovered on September 8 in the trunk of a Tesla that was towed to an impound lot in Hollywood.
Key details from the investigation:
The victim:
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the decomposed remains as Celeste Rivas, a 15-year-old girl who had been reported missing in April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California.
According to TMZ, Rivas's mother told the outlet that her daughter was dating someone named David and had mentioned the tattoo to her.
The tattoo:
Both D4vd and Celeste Rivas have the "Shhh..." tattoo on their right index finger, though reports note the tattoo is not unique and has been made popular by celebrities like Rihanna.
TMZ reported that earlier photos of D4vd from April to early August 2024 did not show the tattoo, suggesting it is a recent addition.
The vehicle:
The vehicle where the body was found is registered to David Anthony Burke, D4vd's real name.
The Tesla had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills for several days before it was towed to the lot.
According to iHeart, the car was never reported stolen.
The investigation:
D4vd's representatives have stated that he is aware of the situation and is cooperating with authorities. He has continued to perform on his world tour.
The cause of death has not been released.
Police have not publicly named a person of interest.
In response to the news, fashion brands Crocs and Hollister, who recently featured D4vd in a campaign, removed his content and released a statement saying they were monitoring the situation.
