D4vd Faces New Allegations Over "Significant" Illegal Phone Content

Singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces serious charges related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. He was arrested in April 2026 by Los Angeles police.

Details of the Case

Authorities claim Burke used a sharp instrument during the attack on Celeste, who died from multiple injuries. Her remains were found in a car registered to Burke at a tow yard in Los Angeles.

Court Proceedings

In a recent court appearance, prosecutors revealed that a search of Burke's phone uncovered a "significant amount" of alleged inappropriate material. It is not clear if this material involved Celeste.

Charges and Allegations

Burke has pleaded not guilty and intends to fight the charges. Prosecutors also allege he engaged in sexual relations with Celeste when she was underage and killed her when she threatened to expose him. They claim he later dismembered her body and stored it in his vehicle for months.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 1, and prosecutors aim to move to trial within 60 days.
