On 16 April, the quest for justice for 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez reached a pivotal turning point as 21-year-old rising singer D4vd was arrested by the LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division and US Marshals at a residence in Hollywood Hills.
The Romantic Homicide artist, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is currently being held without bail and faces trial for the death of the teenager, whose severely decomposed remains were discovered inside Burke's abandoned black Tesla at a Hollywood impound lot on 8 September 2025. The medical examiner's report indicated that the teenager was stabbed to death multiple times before she was mutilated and placed into two cadaver bags.
