Overview
- Detectives arrested David Burke, known as D4vd, at his Hollywood Hills home on Thursday after they said they developed probable cause to book him on suspicion of murder.
- He is being held without bail, and prosecutors plan to review the case for possible charges on Monday.
- Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s decomposed remains, which reports said were dismembered, were found on September 8, 2025 in the trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke after tow-yard workers reported a foul odor.
- Burke’s attorneys said the evidence will show he did not kill Celeste and was not the cause of her death.
- Celeste’s father said, “Thank God… justice for Celeste,” while Burke’s parents said they believe he is innocent, and his record label removed him from its website after the arrest.
