Singer D4vd is cooperating with authorities in their investigation into the discovery of a body Monday in a car that was impounded last week at a Los Angeles tow yard, his representative said.

The decomposed body was found after workers at Hollywood Tow reported a strong odor coming from the Tesla registered to the singer. Officers opened the front trunk and found the remains in a bag, police said.

Homicide detectives on the case believe the body found inside the front trunk of the Tesla was that of a woman.

“D4vd has been informed about what’s happened. And, although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities,” a spokesperson for the singer said Tuesday.

The singer’s tour was in Minneapolis Tuesday with a stop in Kansas City Wednesday, according to his Instagram profile.

The car was impounded after someone reported it was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills. Details about the identity of the woman found in the car and a cause of death were not immediately available.

Law enforcement sources told NBC News that the remains were not intact and identification will be delayed due to the decomposition of the remains.

“We were notified this morning and the car’s been here for a couple of days,” Capt. Robert Peters said.

While it may be too soon to determine whether the deceased woman was the victim of a crime, but sources tell NBCLA that there are sinister signs, adding that her body was wrapped in a unique container.

The case was being treated Tuesday as a death investigation, authorities said.

D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, is a singer-songwriter who rose to fame with viral hits on Tiktok, where he has 3.6 million followers. That success led to signings with Darkroom and Interscope Records.

Universal Music Group, the parent company of Interscope Records, referred questions to an attorney for the singer. The attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, a body was discovered in a burned Honda Civic at a South LA tow yard. Police said there is nothing to indicate the two cases are connected.

Dozens of shipping containers tumbled over the side of a cargo ship and into the water Tuesday at the Port of Long Beach.

It was not immediately clear what was in the containers, which were stacked on the Mississippi cargo ship at a dock around 9 a.m. when they toppled over the side of the vessel, port officials said. There were no reports of injuries.

Some of the containers fell on a clean air barge that was connected to the Mississippi.

The U.S. Coast Guard, which responded to the scene near the port’s Pier G, said nearly 70 containers were in the water. Shoes, boxes and other other items were floating alongside the containers.

The container ship arrived in Long Beach Tuesday morning from China.

Cargo operations were temporarily suspended at the pier as responders worked to secure the containers, said Port of Long Beach spokesperson Art Marroquin. Authorities are attempting to determine what caused the mishap, Marroquin said.

The Coast Guard established a 500-yard safety zone around the ship. Crews appeared to be spraying high-pressure water to keep the cargo from floating out to sea.

The port is the U.S. gateway for Pacific trade and handled more than 9.6 million container units in 2024, its busiest year in history.

The San Diego City Council voted 8-0 Tuesday to adopt a coastal resilience master plan focused on flooding and erosion risks.

According to the city, the plan “was developed to help the city brace for the impacts of a warming climate.”

The plan “includes concept-level designs of nature-based solutions, such as elevated sand dunes, restored coastal habitats and realigned parks and infrastructure,” according to city officials.

It also will feature six pilot sites based on their feasibility and environmental benefits: La Jolla Shores; Mission Beach; Pacific Beach/Tourmaline Surf Park; Ocean Beach and its pier and Dog Beach; and Sunset Cliffs.

Four sites will be advanced into the city’s capital improvement program for initial engineering over the next year, including:

• Tourmaline Surf Park, which will involve converting the existing shoreline protection feature into a “hybrid nature-based solution”
• Ocean Beach: restoration of dune habitat near Smiley Lagoon, and a new multi-use path for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting the pier to the San Diego River bike path near Dog Beach; and
• Sunset Cliffs, where existing resources will be enhanced to protect public safety without affecting the cliffs’ structural integrity or other infrastructure, along with a separated pedestrian path and one lane for southbound vehicular travel

According to the city, sea levels in San Diego “are expected to rise five to 14 times faster this century than the last, significantly increasing the risk of flooding and erosion.”

A city-conducted assessment in 2019 found that “by 2050, sea level rise, accompanied by storm surge, could place $208 million to $370 million worth of public assets at risk along San Diego’s shoreline.”

Examples of assets include bridges, roads, parks, recreation centers and water pipes, according to the city.

“Open space and conservation areas are also highly vulnerable to both sea level rise and coastal storm events,” officials said.

According to the city, nature-based solutions “provide additional environmental and socio-economic benefits such as enhanced and protected habitat, green jobs and environmental education opportunities.

The projects consider ways to enhance access to the coast for all community members, such as expanded public transportation to the beach, improved pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure and efficiency enhancements for parking.”

The next steps in the plan’s development will be feasibility and technical studies, more environmental studies and workshops in the project communities. More information on the coastal plan is at https://www.sandiego.gov/climate-resilient-sd/projects/coastal-resilience- master-plan.
