The investigation into the homicide involving d4vd's Tesla has some minor updates as police struggle to ID the deceased.

The LAPD have not yet been able to answer some critical questions pertaining to the homicide case stemming from a body found in a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. However, they have made some minor progress in the last week.

The police department told TMZ that they have been unable to identify the victim. The woman's body was found badly decomposed and chopped up after being discovered in the Tesla's trunk at an impound lot. Detectives are looking for the person who last used the vehicle. The singer has been touring, so it could not have been him. They have reportedly secured fingerprints from the car, but they have not been processed just yet.

The woman in question is believed to be about 5-foot-1 and weighed 71 pounds. Authorities have not identified much more about her beyond those measurements and the fact that she had wavy black hair and a finger tattoo.

Earlier this month, the body was found in a vehicle registered to d4vd. As previously mentioned, he has been on tour since August 5. The vehicle was discovered on September 8. The singer himself was in Minneapolis for his show the following day. The day before, he was in Wisconsin. As of writing, he has not been named as a suspect.

It was also confirmed that d4vd is cooperating in their investigation. The car is registered in Hempstead, Texas. It has not yet been confirmed if the car was stolen, but d4vd's own unawareness of his car being impounded may suggest it was.

The 20-year-old singer, real name David Anthony Burke, is a budding star in the music industry. He has several viral tracks and an appearance on the soundtrack to Arcane, one of Netflix's most-watched series of all time. His tour continues on September 16 in Seattle.
