D4vd has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. This shocking development comes as authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding her tragic demise.
Celesete Rivas Hernandez was just 14 years old when she was killed on or around April 23, 2025. Her dismembered body was discovered in a Tesla on September 8, 2025, raising serious concerns about the nature of her death.
D4vd, now 21, faces multiple charges including first-degree murder, lewd acts with a minor, and mutilation of a body. He is accused of killing Celeste to protect his music career after she threatened to expose their sexual relationship.
The abuse allegedly began on her 13th birthday—September 7, 2023. Authorities had previously described Celeste as a “runaway” before her death. This context adds a disturbing layer to an already tragic story.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the evidence collected in this case, which reportedly amounts to around 40 terabytes. This extensive digital footprint could play a crucial role in the ongoing legal proceedings.
David Burke, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was arrested at a Hollywood home on April 20, 2026. He faces potential life without parole or even the death penalty if convicted.
Blair Berk, representing D4vd, stated emphatically: “We believe the actual evidence will show David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez.” This assertion sets the stage for what promises to be a contentious trial.
In response to the situation, Nathan Hochman remarked, “A parent’s nightmare is a situation where your daughter goes out one night and never comes back.” The emotional stakes are high as this case unfolds in the public eye.
