TL;DR Summary
Celeste Rivas Hernández's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke) and his companies, alleging a years-long sexual relationship with Celeste starting when she was 13 and that Burke killed her in 2025 to cover up the abuse, later dismembering her body to conceal evidence; the suit seeks damages from Burke's businesses, managers, his mother, and a security guard, while prosecutors allege murder and the family calls for the death penalty if convicted. Burke has pleaded not guilty and a trial is scheduled for next year.
