Prosecutors Find Disturbing Materials on D4vd's Phone: New Allegations Emerge
Singer D4vd, also known as David Anthony Burke, is facing several charges related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The case continues to reveal disturbing details.
Arrest and Charges
Burke was arrested on April 16, 2026, by Los Angeles Police in connection with Celeste's death. Prosecutors have charged him with murder, lewd acts with a person under 14, and body mutilation.
Investigation Findings
Authorities allege that Burke used a sharp instrument during the attack, leading to Celeste's death from multiple injuries. Her remains were found in a Tesla registered to Burke at a tow yard in Los Angeles.
During a court hearing, prosecutors shared they discovered significant amounts of child pornography on Burke’s iPhone. It is unclear if any of this material involved Celeste.
Court Proceedings
Burke has pleaded not guilty and plans to contest the charges. His defense team is pressing for an expedited preliminary hearing. An upcoming hearing is scheduled for May 1.
The prosecutors allege that Burke had sexual relations with Celeste while she was underage and killed her when she threatened to expose him. They claim he dismembered her body afterward.
