Lake Elsinore woman sets up memorial for Celeste Rivas Hernandez

NBC Los Angeles reports on a memorial established by Lake Elsinore resident Kayleigh Cortez to honor 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered body was found in a Tesla truck registered to singer D4vd (David Burke) in September. Burke pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and appeared in court Monday with the victim's family present; he is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Thursday. The reporting is sourced from a named journalist (Christian Cázares and Karla Rendon) and includes direct quotes from Cortez describing the memorial's maintenance and community response, along with case details corroborated by CBS Los Angeles, CNN, and The New York Times coverage that adds context about the prosecution's claims of sexual abuse preceding the murder and the serious charges Burke faces. Readers should monitor Thursday's preliminary hearing for potential developments in the case and watch for any public statements from prosecutors or the defense regarding evidence presented.
