The dismembered corpse found bagged and stuffed inside a Tesla registered to New York-born singer D4vd was a woman dressed in a tube-top with a distinct “Shhhh” tattoo on her finger, authorities said.
Investigators are still working to identify the female victim after the rancid, decomposing remains were discovered inside the vehicle’s trunk late Monday after it was abandoned and taken to a Los Angeles tow yard.
The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office has so far revealed that the woman had black wavy hair and was roughly 5 feet 2 inches tall.

She was found wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow bracelet and stud earrings.
The victim also had the “Shhhh” tattoo inked on her right index finger.
Authorities have suggested it could take some time to properly identify the victim given that the bagged remains weren’t fully intact and were already badly decomposed.
It wasn’t immediately clear how or when she died — but cops are treating it as a homicide.
Authorities are seeking to identify the female victim whose decomposed remains were located in the trunk of a vehicle abandoned and later impounded at a Los Angeles tow yard late Monday. KABCPolice made the grim discovery after workers at the Hollywood impound lot reported a foul stench coming from the vehicle — several days after it was brought in.
The car, which bears Texas plates and is registered to 20-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer D4vd, had been reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hill last week.
The Tesla was never reported stolen, TMZ reported.

The “Romantic Homicide” singer, who has 2 million followers on Instagram and billions of streams on Spotify, took to the stage in Minneapolis on Tuesday night as the investigation continued.
“D4vd has been informed about what’s happened. And, although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities,” his spokesperson said in a statement.
