Musician D4vd has reportedly made a big decision after the discovery of the body of a 15-year-old girl in a car belonging to him.
The singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, had been on tour to promote his first album at the time of the horrifying discovery.
A Tesla registered to him had been impounded on September 6 in Los Angeles, and two days later employees noticed a foul smell emanating from the vehicle.
When they searched the car they found a bag containing the dismembered body of a 15-year-old girl.

The remains would later be identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing for over a year.
Police are currently investigating, D4vd has not been named as a suspect and no charges have been filed.
The singer's reps told NBC at the time he had 'been informed about what’s happened, and although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities’.

The singer has now reportedly transferred the deeds to two homes in Texas to his mother's name, according to legal documents.
One property in the Houston area was transferred on September 23 (according to ABC 7) and another in the Houston area on September 18 (according to TMZ).
This allegedly came after an incident of 'swatting', making a hoax call to emergency services, which was targeted at one of the addresses on September 17.
Audio of a 911 call shows the call which prompted them to rush to the property, with the caller saying: "I heard, like, some gunshots... and I think someone is dead."

Body cam footage from the Waller County District Attorney's Office shows police arriving at the house guns drawn, only to learn the call was a hoax.
An investigation is now underway into the discovery of Celeste's body in the car.
D4vd has suspended a tour of his debut album following the discovery, and is co-operating with the authorities.
The car had reportedly been left parked on the street for a long period, and was taken to an impound on North Mansfield Avenue in the Hollywood Hills where staff reported a bad smell coming from it.

When staff investigated they found a plastic bag containing the dismembered remains, and called the police.
Celeste's family have since spoken out about the tragedy in a GoFundMe campaign which was set up to cover funeral expenses.
They wrote: “She was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend. Her family is heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss. They are seeking help to lay her body to rest. Any funds you are able to donate are greatly appreciated.”

Celeste went missing from Lake Elsinore in California in April 2024 when she was just 13 years old.
Since the discovery of Celeste's remains in the car registered to his name, D4vd's team have quietly removed listings for his upcoming shows in Los Angeles and at the LA Grammy Museum from official sites.
Sources have also told TMZ that all remaining tour dates have since been cancelled.
UNILAD has contacted representatives of D4vd for comment.
