Overview
- D4vd’s catalog remains on major platforms as an advocacy petition urges Spotify and Apple Music to remove it and YouTube has demonetized his channel under its Creator Responsibility policy.
- Interscope’s Darkroom quietly dropped the artist last year, and Universal Music Group helped collaborators pull joint tracks from streaming services.
- Prosecutors have charged David Anthony Burke with first-degree murder under special-circumstance allegations, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
- Burke has pleaded not guilty and is jailed without bail, exposing him to a possible death sentence or life in prison without parole if convicted.
- Investigators say the victim’s dismembered remains were found in a Tesla linked to Burke, the autopsy ruled the death a homicide from multiple penetrating injuries, and his iCloud allegedly holds a large cache of child sexual abuse material.
