David Anthony Burke, the man known publicly as D4vd, is being held in a tightly controlled segregation unit away from the general prison population at the Los Angeles County Twin Towers Correctional Facility as he awaits trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, according to a recent jail insider.
For context, Burke has been housed at the downtown detention centre since his arrest on April 16. Prosecutors have formally accused him of a deeply disturbing roster of crimes, which includes first-degree murder, the continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and the unlawful mutilation of human remains. He has entered a plea of not guilty to all charges.
