Authorities have identified the body of a girl found in singer D4vd's Tesla after it was impounded at a Los Angeles tow yard as a teen who disappeared in the Lake Elsinore area last year, law enforcement told NBC Los Angeles.
The girl, 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, was identified through forensics. The medical examiner is still working to determine a cause of death.
Rivas was last seen April 5, 2024 in the western Riverside County community. Details about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance were not immediately available.
NBC Los Angeles has reached out to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department for more information.
TMZ reported that the girl's mother said a description provided by police of the body, which included a distinctive tattoo, matched her daughter's appearance.
