A judge is about to hear prosecutors’ chilling case against rising singer D4vd

A judge will begin hearing evidence Tuesday that will determine whether singer D4vd should stand trial in the killing and dismemberment of a 14-year-old girl whom prosecutors allege he murdered to stop her from exposing their relationship.

Prosecutors allege 21-year-old David Burke, who performs as D4vd, lured Celeste Rivas Hernandez to the Hollywood Hills home he was renting on April 23, 2025, stabbed her multiple times and later dismembered her body in his garage with chain saws.
