D4vd Murder Case: Texts Reveal Abortions in Teen’s Relationship Across Court Hearing
TL;DR Summary
In Los Angeles, singer D4vd (David Burke) is charged with murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and mutilation after 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dismembered in the trunk of his Tesla. A preliminary hearing revealed text messages from Celeste’s age 11 to 13 discussing abortion, contraception, and a sexual relationship, alongside images; the medical examiner described fatal penetrating injuries and dismemberment. Prosecutors say he killed her to protect his career, while his lawyers vow to vigorously defend him. The judge will determine if there is probable cause to proceed to trial; there is no jury yet, with proceedings continuing.
