Prosecutors accuse D4vd of killing a teen to silence her, citing abuse allegations

Prosecutors in Los Angeles allege that singer D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, stabbed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez multiple times and then dismembered her body in his garage with chain saws to silence her after she threatened to reveal their relationship; the court filing describes text messages showing a sexual relationship and alleged child sexual abuse images, and says the body was later found decomposing in a Tesla in the Hollywood Hills. Burke has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and related counts and could face the death penalty, though his defense has denied responsibility. A preliminary hearing set for May 26 will determine whether there is probable cause to proceed to trial.
