A California community held a vigil Sunday evening for Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 15-year-old girl found dismembered in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to singer D4vd, according to a report.
Residents of Lake Elsinore, the teen’s hometown, gathered around 7 p.m. local time in memory of the teen who vanished from her home in 2024, KABC reported.
Residents of Lake Elsinore gathered around 7 p.m. local time in memory of the teen who vanished from her home in 2024.
A makeshift memorial for Celeste has already been erected on the street she once lived on, filled with flowers and heartbreaking messages from her loved ones, the outlet reported.
“Justice for Celeste Rivas,” one banner at the site read.
Celeste’s mutilated body was found on Sept. 8 in the trunk of a Tesla sedan sitting in a Hollywood Hills impound lot. The car is registered to the 20-year-old singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke.
The girl had a tattoo on her right index finger that read “Shhh…” — similar to one D4vd has, according to TMZ, although other celebs have the same ink, including Rihanna and Lindsay Lohan.
The petite teen was found wearing a tube top with black leggings and a yellow bracelet with similar metal stud earrings.

Her body was wrapped in plastic and was so badly decomposed that it wasn’t fully intact and was first reported to authorities because the car started to emit a “foul odor.”
Celeste was only 13 years old when she vanished, according to missing persons posters from the time.
She was found just a day after her 15th birthday, and police officials have suggested that due to the decomposed nature of her body, she had died while she was 14, the Los Angeles Times reported.
When the news broke of the body in the trunk, Celeste’s mom immediately suspected they had found her daughter, she told TMZ.
“As many of you know, Celeste Rivas Hernandez has been identified as the body found last week,” organizers Esmeralda Lozano and Gisel Vera wrote in a GoFundMe for the girl’s family.
“She was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend.”

“Her family is heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss. They are seeking help to lay her body to rest. Any funds you are able to donate are greatly appreciated,” the statement said.
Burke was in the midst of a world tour that would bring him to Los Angeles this weekend, but the alt R&B star has cancelled the remainder of his shows amid the alarming investigation.
He also had a scheduled sold-out appearance at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Wednesday, which has since been removed from the website and cancelled.
The artist was set to go to Europe in early October, but several of those dates, including his first show in Norway, have been cancelled on Ticketmaster.
Burke has been “cooperating with authorities,” a spokesperson for the singer told NBC 4.
