The case centres around Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a teenage girl whose body was found in September 2025. She was discovered inside the trunk of a Tesla linked to the singer.
The vehicle had been impounded after being left in the Hollywood Hills area for several weeks. Authorities were alerted after reports of a foul smell coming from the car.
