Celeste Rivas Hernandez, girl who singer D4vd is charged with killing, died from penetrating wounds
Prosecutors say the singer killed the 14-year-old and dismembered her as investigators found remains in his Tesla and filed murder charges.
- On Wednesday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released autopsy findings determining 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez died from "multiple penetrating injuries caused by object," ruling her manner of death a homicide.
- Prosecutors allege 21-year-old musician David Anthony Burke killed Rivas on April 23, 2025, dismembered her on or about May 5, 2025, and left her remains in a Tesla discovered on September 8, 2025.
- The autopsy report details "two penetrating wounds in the torso" and "bilateral dismemberment of upper and lower extremities," while Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo called the delay in releasing findings to the family "unfathomable."
- Following his arrest on April 16, Burke was charged with murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains; he pleaded not guilty on April 20 and remains held without bail.
- Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has not yet decided whether to pursue the death penalty, though if convicted on all charges, Burke faces capital punishment or life in state prison without parole.
