According to Variety, the report reveals that Celeste died of multiple stab wounds to the torso, upper abdomen and chest. Her body was found deeply decomposed, with her arms and legs cut off, in the front trunk of the singer’s car in September.
She was last seen alive on April 23, 2025, when she went to D4vd‘s home in Los Angeles, per District Attorney Nathan Hochman, and is believed to have been murdered on or about that date.
In a new statement from her family, her parents thank the LAPD and DA office, while remembering their late daughter.
“We would like to thank the Los Angeles Police Department and the District Attorney’s Office for their hard work. We would also like to thank the people of Lake Elsinore for all their support,” her parents Jesus and Mercedes shared in a statement with the New York Post. “Celeste was a beautiful, strong girl who loved to sing and dance. Every Friday night was movie night and we spent wonderful times together.”
D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, could potentially face the death penalty, though he has plead not guilty to the charges.
