I know there was a thread on here when the girls body was found but now I can't find it. I tried searching so apologies if already posted

LA Times

Details are emerging about the arrest of the musician known as D4vd in the 2025 slaying of teenager Celeste Rivas Hernandez in Hollywood.


quote:

Burke is being held without bail and the case will be presented to the L.A. County district attorney’s office on Monday for filing consideration, according to LAPD. Burke’s attorneys, Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter, released a joint statement after his arrest, saying, “Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death

Some guy who has strong LGBTQ+ vibes but apparently is wildly popular with the youth these days. Never heard of him till they found a dismembered teenage girl in his vehicle

Technically a singer I suppose...just looks like a rapper

Also wrote a song describing the murder victim and talking about her death (in his mind allegedly)

I learned about him from my 13 year old son. Dude’s music was popular in the Fortnite gaming world. There’s no reason for adults to know anything about him before now.

She was 14 and her parents seem to have known about her "boyfriend." Failures.

The singer has been charged with first-degree murder in Rivas' death. He has also been charged with having sex with a minor and mutilating a body.

“Celeste, a 14-year-old at that time, went to Mr. Burke’s house in the Hollywood Hills,” said Hochman during a press conference via Billboard. “She was never heard from again.”

Additionally, the murder charge also has a “special circumstances” enhancement, which makes the maximum sentence death or life in prison without parole, though Hochman said his office has not yet determined whether to seek the death penalty.

Prosecutors say that D4vd, who was 20 years old at the time, committed “lewd and lascivious sexual acts” with her before she turned 14, and that the singer murdered her “to maintain his very lucrative music career that Celeste was threatening on that particular night.”

I think this guy has been known as the murderer of a 14 year old for longer than anyone knew he was a singer

Glad they finally arrested him

Yeah, I started following it just because of the nature of the case being pretty wild, had no idea who the guy was, it seemed like they didn't have much evidence and saw speculation that maybe she OD or something and someone in his entourage just got rid of the body.

Glad that they were able to get enough to book his pedo arse. Hopefully it sticks, but it's California so who knows.

Terrible for that girl

He was initially “not a suspect” which is a common bullshite line from police.

And one of his most popular songs on Spotify is “Romantic homicide.”
