Singer D4vd Arrested on Suspicion of Teen Girl's Death

Police arrested the singer on suspicion of murder after a grand jury probe, and his lawyers said the evidence will show he was not responsible.

  • On Thursday, Los Angeles police arrested 21-year-old artist D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, in the Hollywood Hills on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
  • Rivas Hernandez's decomposed remains were discovered September 8 inside a 2023 Tesla registered to Burke after the vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills, following her 2024 disappearance from Lake Elsinore, California.
  • Attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter denied Burke's involvement, stating "David has only been detained under suspicion" and plan to vigorously defend him.
  • Police plan to present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorneys Office on Monday, while Burke remains held without bail pending a determination on formal charges.
  • Following the arrest, the Houston-born singer's music career faces uncertainty as major partners paused promotions and removed his artist profile from the Interscope Records website amid the investigation.
