D4vd Allegedly Murdered Teen; DA Filing Details Dismemberment Plan
Prosecutors in Los Angeles detail in a nine-page filing how D4vd allegedly killed 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez on April 23, 2025, then dismembered and disposed of her body after threats to end his career. The DA outlines a trail of purchases—shovel, two chainsaws, a body bag, heavy-duty bags, and a blue inflatable pool—made under the alias Victoria Mendez to destroy evidence, with Hernandez’s remains later found in an impounded Tesla. D4vd is charged with first-degree murder and continuous sexual abuse and faces possible life in prison or the death penalty, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 26, 2026.
