Overview
- Prosecutors arrested D4vd in April 2026 and charged him with first‑degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains; he has pleaded not guilty.
- Celeste Rivas Hernandez's decomposing and dismembered body was found in the front trunk of D4vd's Tesla in September 2025, a discovery that remains central to investigators' theories about premeditation.
- Influencer Aysia Collins says she confronted D4vd after seeing a missing‑person flyer and that he showed unspecified 'proof' he claimed established the victim was 19, a claim Collins says led her to back off.
- A preliminary hearing is set for July 21, 2026, where prosecutors will outline the evidence they plan to use to try to send the case to trial.
- Friends and associates have publicly distanced themselves from D4vd and coverage is now focused on how social‑media interactions, alleged documents, and witness testimony will shape both the investigation and public view.
