Prosecutors in Los Angeles charged 21-year-old singer D4vd (David Burke) with first‑degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and unlawful mutilation after Celeste Rivas Hernandez, 14, was found dead and dismembered in the front trunk of Burke’s Tesla in September 2025. A five‑day preliminary hearing outlined a years‑long alleged relationship beginning when Celeste was 11, thousands of text messages, and Burk e’s alleged murder and dismemberment, with evidence recovered from his home and the vehicle. Burke has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed without bail; if convicted he could face life without parole or the death penalty, though prosecutors have not yet decided whether to seek the latter. Judge Charlaine Olmedo ruled there is sufficient evidence to move forward to trial, and Burke is due back in court on August 31 for a post‑preliminary hearing arraignment.
