(NewsNation) — A California community held a candlelight vigil on Sunday for the 15-year-old girl Celeste Rivas Hernandez whose dismembered body was found in the trunk of R&B singer D4vd. 

Celeste was reported missing in April 2024 when she was only 13 years old, authorities said. Her remains were discovered inside the Tesla registered to the singer at a Hollywood tow yard on Sept. 8. 

A crowd gathered at a makeshift memorial on the street where she lived, according to NewsNation Los Angeles affiliate KTLA.

“I’m feeling heartbroken, devastated for hearing about the news. I didn’t know Celeste personally but it hits home,” Lake Elsinore resident Gabriela Flores told local station KABC.  

D4vd cancels tour 

D4vd has canceled the rest of his tour amid an investigation into Celeste’s death.  

D4vd’s home was raided by the Los Angeles Police Department’s homicide unit on Sept. 17.  

TMZ’s Charles Latibeaudiere told “Banfield” that police swooped on the house D4vd had been staying at Wednesday night in search of anything resembling “blood evidence.” 

“They were checking drains to see if there’s any blood evidence or blood or tissue that was in the drains there,” he said. “So, they did a scouring of this house, looking for any evidence.” 

Police told TMZ that the home was “about a block, block and a half” from where D4vd’s Tesla was parked before it was towed. 

“We know that Tesla is his,” Latibeaudiere said. “The thing that’s still not clear is who was actually driving the Tesla when the body was placed in the car? Who parked it where it was eventually found and impounded? Those are the dots that still need to be connected here.” 

Leaked D4vd song mentions Celeste

D4vd was on tour when he was contacted by police, who told him a decomposing body was found in his car.

While police haven’t officially linked D4vd and the victim, a leaked D4vd song mentions Celeste multiple times, Latibeaudiere said.

The track, which leaked on Soundcloud in December 2023, was titled “Celeste_Demo unfin.”
