Overview
- D4vd’s TikTok handle no longer loads on the app or desktop, with users seeing notices that the account is banned or unavailable, following earlier YouTube demonetization and a reported label split.
- Caleb Burke, the singer’s 18-year-old brother who now releases music as Kova, posted on Instagram that he did not cover for D4vd, was not close to him, and did not know the victim’s age.
- Caleb said people are impersonating him online and said he would deactivate accounts after identifying the few that are his.
- David Anthony Burke has pleaded not guilty and remains jailed without bail on charges that include first-degree murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of remains, with court dates reported for May 12 and May 26.
- Recent court filings describe alleged stabbing, dismemberment using chainsaws, an inflatable pool to contain blood, blue plastic fragments that investigators say match the pool he bought, and the removal of two fingers to obscure a tattoo.
