The ongoing investigation into the discovery of a woman's body in the impounded Tesla of popular singer D4vd has sent shockwaves through the music industry. A spokesperson for the 20-year-old artist, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, confirmed that he is cooperating fully with authorities. The body, found in a bag in the vehicle's front trunk, was discovered by tow yard employees who reported a foul odor emanating from the car.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) responded to the Hollywood Tow yard on September 8th, uncovering the remains of a woman approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall, with black wavy hair and a distinctive "Shhhh" tattoo on her finger. She was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal bracelet, and metal stud earrings. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office is working to formally identify the victim. The cause of death is currently undetermined, but the case is being treated as a homicide.
Adding to the complexity, the Tesla, registered in Hempstead, Texas, had been abandoned five days prior on Bluebird Avenue and Doheny Drive in the Hollywood Hills before being towed. It remained at the impound lot for two days before the smell was reported. Despite the ongoing investigation, D4vd proceeded with his scheduled performance at The Fillmore in Minneapolis on Tuesday evening, a fact documented in widely circulated social media videos. He is continuing his North American tour.
Remarkably, another unrelated case emerged the following day. A second body was discovered in a separate South Los Angeles tow yard, this time in a scorched Honda Civic. While both incidents involved bodies found in impounded vehicles, authorities have stated that they believe the two cases are unrelated.
D4vd, known for his indie, R&B, and alt-pop sound, has gained immense popularity through TikTok and boasts over 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His hits, such as "Romantic Homicide" and "Here With Me," have each garnered over 1 billion streams. He is scheduled to conclude his world tour at the end of September in Los Angeles. He has yet to publicly comment on the ongoing investigation.
