Overview
- Prosecutors are reviewing the LAPD investigation, with a charging decision expected Monday after the singer’s Thursday arrest on suspicion of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
- David Anthony Burke, known as d4vd, remains in Los Angeles custody without bail, and the arraignment is expected to address whether he stays jailed or is released pending further proceedings.
- Celeste’s decomposed and dismembered remains were found September 8, 2025 in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke at a Hollywood tow yard after workers reported a strong odor.
- Burke’s attorneys say he is innocent and that evidence will clear him, while Celeste’s father reacted to the arrest by saying, “Thank God … justice for Celeste.”
- Key details remain sealed under a Medical Examiner security hold that withholds cause and manner of death from public view, though ABC7 reported the office ruled the death a homicide.
