Singer D4vd has been arrested on suspicion of killing of a 14-year-old girl whose decomposing and dismembered body was found in his Tesla. Police said the singer whose legal name is David Burke is being held without bail and they'll present a case to prosecutors on Monday. Burke had been under investigation by an LA County grand jury in secret. His attorneys said in a statement that he is innocent and was not the cause of the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Investigators say they found the girl's long-dead body in the car in a tow yard in September.
Singer D4vd has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge in the death of a 14-year-old girl who authorities say was found dismembered in his Tesla last year. Los Angeles prosecutors said Monday that the 21-year-old singer whose legal name is David Burke was charged with first-degree murder and other charges in the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She was 13 when her family last saw her in 2024 and she was last known to be alive in April 2025. Her long-dead body was found in September. Burke's lawyers said after he was arrested Thursday that he did not kill Rivas Hernandez and they will defend his innocence.
