Connection to Singer D4vd
The impounded Tesla is registered to D4vd, a 20-year-old rising star known for hits like “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.” Despite the incident, the singer has continued his world tour, with scheduled performances in Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
TMZ reported: “D4vd posted something on social Monday, so given the car was at the tow yard for several days, it would appear the body is not that of the singer.”
D4vd’s representatives have not yet commented on the investigation. The singer, who boasts billions of streams and millions of social media followers, has been actively promoting his tour online.
Police Investigation and Current Status
The Los Angeles Police Department is treating the case as a death investigation. Authorities have not released details about the victim or potential suspects but confirmed the body was found in a bag inside the Tesla’s trunk.
KABC noted: “Officers responded to the 1000 block of N. Mansfield Avenue shortly before 12:30 p.m. Monday to a report of a foul odor coming from an impounded vehicle.”
The vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills area after being reported abandoned. Police are likely reviewing forensic evidence and any available footage from the car or surrounding areas to piece together what happened.
D4vd’s Whereabouts and Public Response
D4vd is currently on his “Withered” world tour, with shows scheduled across North America. His social media activity shows no signs of concern, as he continues to engage with fans online.
ABC7 reported: “D4vd is scheduled to perform in Minneapolis on Tuesday as part of his ‘Withered’ world tour that began last month.”
The singer’s lack of public response has sparked speculation, but there is no evidence linking him directly to the incident. Fans and authorities await further updates as the investigation continues.
