Overview
- Prosecutors moved to compel testimony from D4vd’s parents and brother before a Los Angeles investigative grand jury, but the family says redacted affidavits deprived them of a fair chance to contest being labeled material witnesses.
- The Texas 1st District Court of Appeals denied their habeas petitions and gave the trial judge roughly 10 days to respond, leaving whether the trio must travel to testify unresolved and a further hearing possible.
- The grand jury has been taking evidence since November, with testimony from touring executive Robert Morgenroth and friend Neo Langston, who was arrested in Montana after failing to appear and later testified in Los Angeles.
- Multiple outlets report D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, is being treated as the primary suspect, yet no indictment or arrests have been made and the confidential grand jury proceedings remain under seal.
- The inquiry began after Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains were found in September 2025 in a Tesla registered to D4vd, and an LAPD detective’s filing describes the case as a murder investigation with autopsy details sealed by court order.
