D4vd or David Burke, the singer, was arrested on suspicion of killing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in the trunk of his Tesla. The case from last year had garnered a lot of attention as the decomposed body was recovered from the vehicle that had been towed from Hollywood Hills.
The 21-year-old singer is being held without bail, as per authorities, and will be presented to the District Attorneys Office for consideration of charges on Monday.
For a long time, there was no assurance of the progress in the matter as a cause of death had not been determined given the state of the corpse. However, even when the case did move forward, it was kept low profile. The only reason people got to know that D4vd was a target of the police investigation is when it was revealed that his mother, father, and brother, had filed an objection in a Texas court to subpoenas that demanded they testify.

D4vd: Old Insta posts in focus after arrest in Celeste Rivas case
D4vd’s social media posts had already seen comments from those who have been following the case. Most of these comments came in the months after Rivas’ body was found in the trunk of his car. Many had warned him about his day of reckoning with the law.
However, fresh comments came up after the news of his arrest broke today.
One person commented on the pinned post of the Withered album release. They wrote “I was right the whole time about this little man. I need apologizes from all the people that wished me and my family death just for calling out someone that killed a little girl and ruined her and her families life forever.” The comment, put up about an hour back, has already garnered 161 likes at the time of writing.
Another post from D4vd about the Withered tour dates also drew comments.
“Everyone is cheering currently in pure joy to see you suffer in the worst ways humanly possible,” one person wrote. A gif was also posted on both posts, showing a damaged car with a driver urging someone to get in.
It is likely a reference to D4vd’s Tesla in whose truck Rivas had been found. Celeste Rivas was found on September 8, a day after she would have turned 15. She was a 13-year-old seventh grader when her family reported her missing in 2024 from Lake Elsinore, her hometown, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. Authorities noted her age to be 14 when she was killed as per the court documents.
