The homicide case involving D4vd appears to be widening, as Los Angeles detectives are now zeroing in on a second possible suspect in the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas.
On the 2 Angry Men podcast, attorney Mark Geragos — who said he’s spoken directly with individuals tied to the investigation — claimed detectives believe this newly identified person may have played a role “before, during and after” Celeste’s death, and might have even been inside the Tesla where her body was ultimately found.
Geragos said sources told him investigators have been relying heavily on digital evidence, including cellphone data, social media location tracking, and internal Tesla logs, to map the movements of everyone connected to the case. That digital trail allegedly places the second suspect in the same Hollywood Hills area during the timeframe in which Celeste died.
Both Geragos and co-host Harvey Levin confirmed that detectives are scrutinizing a late-night trip D4vd took to a remote part of Santa Barbara County last spring. Several conversations with sources suggest investigators believe Celeste’s body may have already been in the vehicle during that trip — and new data points now indicate that the second suspect might have been in the car as well.
The Medical Examiner has not finalized a cause of death, or has not yet shared findings with law enforcement. Celeste was discovered dead in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla earlier this year, prompting widespread concern and months of investigative work.
No arrests have been announced, but D4vd remains under active investigation and has reportedly declined to cooperate with police from the start. According to People, a source connected to the LAPD said the singer-songwriter (real name David Burke) has been uncooperative throughout the case.
Geragos added that detectives seem confident in the leads they’ve developed so far, though there’s still no timeline for potential charges.
