American singer D4vd has been at the centre of a horrifying controversy after a decomposed body of a 15-year-old girl was found in an abandoned car registered under the singer’s name. The girl was later identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and netizens were quick to uncover her connection to D4vd. Soon, shocking revelations started coming to light, like the tattoo on the victim’s body matching the one on D4vd’s finger. Users online are convinced that D4vd is behind Celeste’s death, and everyone is asking one specific question now: why hasn’t the singer been arrested yet? Read on to know the answer.
On September 10, 2025, news first broke out that a dead boy had been found in D4vd’s abandoned Tesla. The ‘Here With Me’ singer was on tour at that time and said that he would cooperate with the police investigation. Later, more evidence of D4vd’s link to Celeste’s death started coming out. People like old friends, close acquaintances, and even Celeste’s teacher came forward to speak about D4vd’s connection to her.
Why Has D4vd Not Been Arrested?
As the case gains more popularity, people have been wondering why D4vd has not been taken into custody till now. Legal experts weighed in on the situation, revealing that ownership of the vehicle and online uproar are insufficient evidence to arrest the singer. Brian Buckmire, a legal contributor for ABC News, explained the case in detail, saying, “Law enforcement does not have the answers they need to be able to confront or question D4vd. Without a confirmed cause and manner of death, there is no legal ground for an arrest.”
Authorities are, however, not staying put. The singer’s residence was searched, and some electronic devices were also seized. Right now, the Los Angeles Police Department continues to classify the case as a death investigation. Making premature arrests without sufficient evidence may weaken the case.
