D4vd Charged with First-Degree Murder in Teen Celeste’s Death

LA County DA charged musician D4vd (David Burke) with first-degree murder with special circumstances, plus lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and mutilating a body, in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors say her dismembered remains were found in a Tesla registered to Burke in a Hollywood tow yard after a lengthy investigation tied to alleged abuse beginning when she was 13. Burke pleaded not guilty; the case carries a potential life sentence without parole or a death penalty, with the death-penalty decision to come later. Hernandez’s family issued a statement thanking law enforcement and asking for justice.
