US singer D4vd arrested on suspicion of murder

The music world is reeling from the shocking news of D4vd's arrest on suspicion of murder. The 21-year-old artist, legally known as David Burke, was taken into custody by homicide detectives in Los Angeles as part of an ongoing investigation into the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Authorities have presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, which will determine whether to file formal charges. The arrest follows the discovery of Ms. Rivas Hernandez's body in September 2025. Her remains were found inside a Tesla Model Y that had been towed from the Hollywood Hills after being reported abandoned. The specific cause of her death has not yet been publicly disclosed.

Ms. Rivas Hernandez had been reported missing in 2024 from Lake Elsinore, a city southeast of Los Angeles. She was 14 years old at the time of her death. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance and subsequent discovery have cast a dark shadow over the case.

The evidence will show that Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and was not the cause of her death.

In a statement released by his legal representatives, Burke's defense team, including lawyers Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter, vehemently asserted his innocence. They declared that the evidence would conclusively demonstrate that Burke "did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez" and was "not the cause of her death." The lawyers also pointed out that no indictment has been returned and no criminal complaint has been filed against Burke at this time. He is currently being held without bail.

D4vd, who gained significant traction in 2022 after his song 'Romantic Homicide' went viral on TikTok, has seen several live performances canceled in the wake of the investigation and his arrest. These cancellations include dates on his North American tour and planned European shows, impacting his burgeoning career.
