Tesla evidence surfaces in Celeste Rivas murder case against D4vd

Prosecutors at a Los Angeles preliminary hearing describe grisly evidence in the Celeste Rivas case: her body was found in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla, with clothing described as heavily soiled, insect-infested, very wet and strongly smelling of decomposition; air fresheners were found in the car, and forensic work tied a trash-bag fabric to Rivas’s clothing. Burke (D4vd) is charged with first‑degree murder with special circumstances, plus lewd acts with a minor and mutilation of remains. Prosecutors say he had Rivas Ubered to his Hollywood Hills home the night of April 23, 2025, where she was killed. The hearing also noted Burke’s finances, including earnings around $2.7 million in the referenced year. The proceeding will determine whether there is enough for a trial next year.
