The singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was arrested on suspicion of murder in Los Angeles. This follows the discovery of a teenage girl’s body in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla last year. The case is important because it involves a young victim, 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and raises serious public safety concerns.
Burke, 21, is currently being held without bail, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The case will go to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for review on Monday. The prosecutor’s office has a special division for major crimes that will examine the details.
Police found Celeste’s remains on September 8 inside a black cadaver bag in the Tesla. Officers noticed a foul smell coming from the vehicle and were called to the scene. A second bag held more dismembered body parts.
The cause of Celeste’s death is unclear, as the medical examiner has not released details due to a police request for confidentiality. Celeste was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, southeast of Los Angeles. She was last seen on April 5, 2024. Burke was on tour when the news broke but later canceled the remaining shows in the U.S.
