The severely decomposing body discovered at a Los Angeles impound lot inside a Tesla, which was found to be registered to up-and-coming singer D4vd , has been identified as a missing Inland Empire teen whose death may soon launch a homicide investigation.

Celeste Rivas, 15, had been missing for nearly 18 months before her body was discovered at Hollywood Tow on Sept. 8. Rivas was identified after the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner shared that the girl had a right index finger tattoo that reads “Shhh…” Her mother understood this to be her daughter and contacted the news outlet TMZ, the L.A.
