American singer-songwriter David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, may face murder charges in connection with the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, sources say. Prosecutors in Los Angeles are presenting evidence to a grand jury that could lead to formal murder charges against the 20-year-old artist. This would mark a major development in a case that has drawn intense public curiosity and scrutiny.
The body of Celeste Rivas was discovered on 8 September 2025 inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd at a tow yard in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Her remains were in an advanced state of decomposition when found by police after workers reported a foul smell coming from the vehicle. Rivas had been reported missing in April 2024 from Lake Elsinore, California.
