D4dv is reportedly a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ on Tuesday that “Investigators are looking at D4vd as a suspect,” though no paperwork appears to have officially classified him as such.
A spokesperon for the LAPD told Page Six on Tuesday that they “cannot confirm” claims that D4vd is a suspect in the case, though an LAPD source allegedly told NBC4 Investigates on Tuesday that D4vd has indeed been identified as a suspect.

An LAPD source with “direct knowledge” reportedly told NBC4 Investigates that D4vd has been uncooperative, that Rivas’ death probably occurred in the spring, and that the musician “likely had help in dismembering and disposing of the body.”
Per TMZ, officials are treating Rivas’ death as a homicide, though a manner of death has yet to be determined by a Medical Examiner. Toxicology results are pending.
A source for TMZ claimed that during the police investigation, it was revealed that the singer allegedly took a late night trip in the spring to a “remote area” of Santa Barbara County, where he remained for “several hours.”
The outlet noted that it’s “unclear” why the LAPD would be looking into such a trip, and that they have not “double-sourced” the alleged information.
Page Six has reached out to D4vd for comment.
Back in September, a decomposing body was found inside the trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd. The body was later determined to be Celeste Rivas, 14.
