URGENT UPDATE: Community members in Lake Elsinore, California, gathered for a candlelight vigil Sunday evening to honor 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were shockingly discovered in the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to singer D4vd. This tragic event has sent ripples of grief through the community as residents seek justice for the young girl who was reported missing last year.
The vigil took place near a makeshift memorial on the street where Celeste once lived. Grief-stricken attendees lit candles and shared poignant memories, expressing their heartbreak over the loss. “I’m feeling heartbroken, devastated for hearing about the news,” said local resident Gabriela Flores. “I didn’t know Celeste personally, but it hits home.”
Police investigations surrounding her death are ongoing. Last week, authorities conducted a search of a Hollywood Hills home associated with D4vd, located close to where the Tesla was impounded. This has raised numerous questions as the investigation unfolds.
Another neighbor, Kayleigh Cortez, who helped create the memorial, reflected on the community’s loss. “Even though I didn’t know her, I just couldn’t even breathe, knowing that a child had to go through that,” she said. The emotional impact was palpable as community members shared their fears and hopes for justice.
D4vd was scheduled to perform in Los Angeles this weekend as part of his nationwide tour, but the remaining dates have been canceled due to the ongoing investigation. The European leg of the tour, set to kick off on October 1, is also facing cancellations.
The circumstances surrounding Celeste’s death remain unclear, but officials are urging anyone with information to come forward. Residents are united in their demand for justice, with many emphasizing that whatever happened to Celeste was not an accident.
As the investigation continues, community members are determined not to let Celeste’s memory fade. The outpouring of support at the vigil signifies the collective grief and resolve of the Lake Elsinore community. “I just want justice for this little girl because whatever happened to her wasn’t just an accident,” one resident passionately asserted.
This developing story is being closely monitored, and further updates are expected as authorities continue their investigation. The community stands together, advocating for justice and remembrance for Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
