Overview
- Newly unsealed court documents designate David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, as the grand‑jury “Target” for a potential one count of murder in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
- Investigators found Rivas’s severely decomposed, dismembered remains on Sept. 8, 2025, in two cadaver bags inside the front storage compartment of a Tesla registered to Burke that had been towed from the Hollywood Hills.
- Prosecutors sought to compel testimony from Burke’s father, Dawud Burke, offering round‑trip airfare, local transportation, and protection from arrest during travel; a Texas judge rejected efforts to quash subpoenas, with further challenges pending.
- Grand‑jury proceedings remain confidential and no charges have been filed, while LAPD executed search warrants and a friend, streamer Neo Langston, was arrested after failing to appear and later returned to testify.
- The county medical examiner’s cause‑of‑death findings are under seal, and records note the car was cited as abandoned while Burke was on tour before he canceled remaining dates after the discovery.
