As we previously reported, Los Angeles police discovered 15-year-old Celeste Rivas dismembered body back in September. She had reportedly ran away from her home in Lake Elsinore, Calif. Her loved ones reported her missing — but because this was not the first time she ran away, most folks thought she would return home soon.

While investigators have not announced any suspects, D4vd’s name continues to come up in connection to the case. The singer allegedly made references to Rivas in his music and even posted pictures with her online. According to TMZ, D4vd confessed his love for a person named Celeste — the first name of the victim — in a leaked song from Dec. 2023.

Artists and brands have since distanced themselves from the 20-year-old singer, including Hollister and Crocs dropping their campaigns, Men’s Journal reported. After facing much scrutiny, D4vd hired Blair Berk, a criminal defense attorney with previous clients including Harvey Weinstein, according to the New York Post. D4vd has not publicly spoken after Rivas’ discovery.

Now, TMZ has reported that D4vd transferred two of his property deeds to his mother. The singer made the changes last month on the 18th and 22nd. Sept. 18 is notably the same day Los Angeles cops searched a home he was renting. The deeds have been added two a trust in D4vd’s mom’s name. It’s a move that has several people speculating on what the move means legally

The medical examiner determined Rivas’ place of death was a “vehicle,” but they have not released her cause of death, Fox 11 News reported. Based on decomposition, Rivas had been dead for weeks.

The teenager was remembered by her family as a “beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend,” according to GoFundMe. The fundraising campaign has raised more than $24,000 of a $28,000 goal.
