TSLA--
The body was discovered on September 8, 2025, by officers responding to a report of a foul odor emanating from the Tesla. The vehicle had been abandoned and towed to the impound lot two days prior. Rivas' body was found wrapped in plastic and was so badly decomposed that it was initially reported to authorities due to the odor [2].
The LAPD is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Rivas' death. Photos of D4vd with Rivas have surfaced online, sparking speculation about their relationship. However, the police have not yet classified the crime or identified any suspects. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that Rivas was reported missing from Lake Elsinore in April 2024 [1].
D4vd, who first gained popularity on TikTok, has been cooperating with police and has not publicly commented on the case. He was scheduled to perform in Minneapolis when the body was first found. The singer has since cancelled his concert in Seattle following the discovery. The Tesla was not reported stolen, and it is unclear who was driving the vehicle when it was abandoned [1].
The case has raised concerns about the potential relationship between D4vd and Rivas. Photos show D4vd interacting with a man carrying a bag near Rivas' family home, adding to the mystery surrounding the case. The tattoo on Rivas' right index finger, which reads "Shhh…", is common and has been popularized by other celebrities [1].
The investigation is ongoing, and the cause of death is still being determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office. The LAPD has not disclosed any further details about the case at this time. As the investigation progresses, more information may emerge that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding Rivas' death.
