Celeste Rivas Hernandez's family publicly backed the death penalty for singer D4vd on 6 September if he is convicted of murdering the teenager, one day before what would have been her 16th birthday. Los Angeles County prosecutors have not decided whether to seek capital punishment.
D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was charged on 20 April with murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains. Burke, 21, has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
