Overview
- Los Angeles police arrested the 21-year-old artist, whose legal name is David Burke, and he is being held without bail in the death of Celeste Rivas.
- The case has been submitted to LAPD’s Major Crimes Division and the Los Angeles County District Attorney for review, with an update promised Monday on potential charges.
- Investigators say Rivas’s dismembered, decomposed remains were found on September 8 in the trunk of a Tesla registered to the rapper, wrapped in a plastic tarp.
- The car had reportedly sat for about a month in an upscale Hollywood area before tow-lot staff and nearby residents reported a strong odor that drew police to the vehicle.
- Rivas had been reported missing since April 5, 2024, when she was 13, and the scrutiny over the case halted the rapper’s world tour after his 2022 breakout hit “Romantic Homicide.”
