HOLLYWOOD — Los Angeles police are investigating after human remains were discovered inside a Tesla that had been stored at an impound lot in Hollywood, officials said. The car is registered to singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke. (ABC7 Los Angeles)
Officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of North Mansfield Avenue shortly before 12:30 p.m. Monday following a call about a strong, unpleasant smell coming from a vehicle on the property. When investigators inspected the impounded Tesla — which had been at the lot for several days — they located remains that had been wrapped and placed in a bag. There was no immediate confirmation about the identity of the deceased. (ABC7 Los Angeles)
Police said the remains were found in the vehicle’s front trunk (commonly known as the “frunk” on Teslas). Video taken by news helicopters and ground crews showed police tape surrounding the car and other vehicles in the impound area; a white canopy was set up nearby as authorities worked the scene.

Public records and reporting indicate the 2023 Tesla is registered in Hempstead, Texas, to Burke. Representatives for the 20-year-old musician — known for tracks such as “Here with Me” and “Romantic Homicide” — had not immediately responded to requests for comment. (ABC7 Los Angeles)
D4vd is on a world tour that recently began; he was scheduled to play in Minneapolis on Tuesday and is due to return to Los Angeles for a concert on Sept. 20. Authorities say the investigation into how the remains came to be inside the impounded car is ongoing, and additional details have not yet been released. (ABC7 Los Angeles)
