On 19 November 2025, D4vd was named as a suspect in the apparent homicide of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose decapitated and severely decomposing remains were discovered in the boot of D4vd's abandoned Tesla on 8 September 2025.
The artist, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, is now under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). 'Investigators are considering D4vd a suspect,' an LAPD insider told TMZ. Reports also indicate that the artist has failed to cooperate with the ongoing investigation, raising further suspicion.
