Authorities found the remains wrapped in a plastic sheet in the front trunk of the car, which had been abandoned at a tow yard for about five days. Police responded to a report of a foul smell coming from the vehicle at around 12:20 PM on Monday, according to Indiatimes and Channel News Asia.
The body was located inside a bag, and initial reports indicate it may belong to a female, although the LAPD has yet to confirm identity specifics, such as age or race. The remains had a tattoo and were found clothed in a tube top and leggings, providing some clues to investigators but no definitive identification. according to Newsweek and BBC.

D4vd previously gained fame through viral hits such as "Romantic Homicide" and his music typically features emotional themes, making this incident particularly shocking to his fans. according to Channel News Asia, Indiatimes, and BBC.
