D4vd Arrest

Lawyers for singer D4vd are pushing prosecutors to reveal their evidence in the case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez's killing. A judge has set a hearing for next week to present the evidence publicly. D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, appeared in court in jail clothes Thursday. He's pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Prosecutors say they have extensive evidence, including sensitive child sex abuse images from Burke's phone. The defense argues the evidence will prove Burke's innocence. The dismembered body of Rivas Hernandez was found in a car registered to Burke. The hearing will determine if there's enough evidence for a trial.

Prosecutors say singer D4vd killed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez by stabbing her multiple times. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office shared what they said the evidence would show in a document filed Wednesday. The form says D4vd (pronounced “David”), whose legal name is David Burke, met Rivas Hernandez when she was 11, began a sexual relationship with her when she was 13 and he was 18, and killed her when she threatened to reveal their inappropriate relationship. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other counts. His lawyers have said he did not cause the girl’s death.
