Kali Uchis and D4vd Release 'Crashing' After Missing Teen Found Dead in Tesla

Kali Uchis Removes Collaborative Song with D4vd Amid Ongoing Investigation

Singer Kali Uchis has announced that she is in the process of removing her collaborative song "Crashing" with artist D4vd from streaming platforms. This decision comes after the tragic discovery of the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas in a Tesla registered to D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke.

The incident has sparked significant public attention and concern, especially as the details surrounding Rivas' disappearance and death continue to unfold. The news of the body found in the Tesla has led to a series of actions by both Uchis and D4vd, including the cancellation of at least one concert.

Reactions and Statements

In an Instagram post, Uchis addressed a fan's criticism regarding her relationship with D4vd. She wrote, "Not my friend I did a song with him which is currently in the process of being taken down given today’s disturbing news." In another comment, she added, "It's ok bb people like her are why women always get blamed for the things men do lol, the internalized misogyny of this world I suppose."

These statements reflect the complex emotions and societal issues that have come to light following the tragedy. The situation has also prompted discussions about the role of public figures in such events and the importance of taking responsibility when involved in any way.

Background on the Song and Artist

The song "Crashing" is part of D4vd's debut album, "Withered," released in April. An official music video for the track was released in February and has accumulated over four million views on YouTube. Despite its popularity, the song now faces removal from streaming services due to the circumstances surrounding its creation.

D4vd, who is 20 years old, has been touring as part of his "Withered" world tour. However, following the news of Rivas' death, he canceled a show in Seattle. Although police have not named him a suspect, they have stated that he has been cooperating with the investigation.

Details of the Discovery

The dismembered remains of Celeste Rivas were discovered on September 8 inside the Tesla after employees at Hollywood Tow reported a strong odor. When police arrived, they found the body wrapped in a bag inside the trunk of the vehicle. According to the LAPD, the Tesla was impounded and towed to an official police garage because it had been parked on a public street for more than 72 hours.

The Tesla had been parked in the Hollywood Hills for nearly a month before it was impounded two weeks ago. Neighbors mentioned that the vehicle had been moved several times over the past three months before it was eventually found on Bluebird Avenue.

Legal and Personal Context

The Tesla is registered in Hempstead, Texas, to D4vd. Rivas was 13 years old when she was reported missing on April 5, 2024, in Lake Elsinore. TMZ reported that Rivas' mother had been suspicious of the remains found in the Tesla, as she had only known her daughter was dating someone named "David."

Rivas and D4vd both shared matching "Sshhh…" tattoos on their index fingers. This detail has raised further questions about their relationship and the circumstances leading to her death.

Impact on D4vd

Following the news of Rivas' death, D4vd was dropped by Crocs and Hollister just days after being announced as the face of their "Dream Drop" collaboration. Additionally, on September 17, detectives with the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide division served a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills home believed to be occupied by D4vd. During the search, detectives seized a computer and left with several evidence bags.

What Remains Unknown

Despite the ongoing investigation, several key details remain unclear. The cause of Rivas' death is still unknown, and police have not named a suspect or person of interest. It is also uncertain whether D4vd will continue with the rest of his scheduled performances as part of his world tour. He is set to perform in Los Angeles this Saturday at the Greek Theatre.

Ongoing Investigation

The case continues to evolve, with new information emerging regularly. While the police have not officially identified D4vd as a suspect, the circumstances surrounding the discovery of Rivas' body have led to increased scrutiny and public concern. As the investigation progresses, more details are expected to come to light, shedding further light on this tragic event.
