Analysis Summary
Singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke, 21) was arrested April 17, 2026 on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose decomposed remains were found in his Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard on September 8, 2025. Burke had been the target of a Los Angeles County grand jury investigation since December 2025 and is being held without bail pending presentation to the District Attorney's office. The arrest marks the first major development in the case in months — Rivas Hernandez went missing in April 2024 and had last been reported by her family in Lake Elsinore, about 75 miles from where her body was discovered. Burke cancelled his world tour shortly after the body was found and was subsequently dropped from marketing partnerships with Hollister and Crocs.
