HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the gruesome discovery of a body inside an impounded Tesla at a tow yard in Hollywood, and Eyewitness News has learned the vehicle is registered to singer D4vd.
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, according to LAPD.
Authorities said human remains were found in the front trunk of the Tesla, which is registered in Hempstead, Texas, to D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.
Police said the impounded car had been at the property for a couple of days, and that the body had been placed inside a bag. There's no immediate information about the identity of the person found inside the Tesla.
D4vd has over 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify and over 3.6 million followers on TikTok, where his songs "Here with Me" and "Romantic Homicide" have gone viral.
He released his debut album earlier this year and often credits TikTok for his success.
The 20-year-old musician from Houston is scheduled to perform in Minneapolis on Tuesday as part of his "Withered" world tour that began last month. The tour stops in Los Angeles on Sept. 20.
So far, D4vd, nor his team, has released any comment on the investigation, though he has limited comments on his social posts.
ABC News' Gio Benitez recently interviewed D4vd as part of ABC News Live's "Prime Playlist."
