What We Know About the Arrest of Singer D4vd in Teen Girl's Death

Police say the 21-year-old singer is being held without bail as prosecutors review a murder case tied to a decomposed body found in his Tesla.

  • On Thursday, authorities arrested singer D4vd on suspicion of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose decomposed body was found seven months ago in his apparently abandoned Tesla.
  • The investigation into Rivas's death spanned seven months until detectives identified D4vd as a suspect, leading to his arrest this week.
  • Homicide detectives transferred the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, which must now determine if sufficient evidence exists to file charges against David Burke.
  • D4vd's legal team declared his innocence following the arrest, stating "the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez."
  • Prosecutors must now review the case file to decide if evidence warrants prosecution, with Burke remaining held without bail pending the District Attorney's filing decision on April 20.
