• Romantic Homicide climbed to No. 8 on Spotify’s U.S. daily songs chart as D4vd reached a new No. 42 high on the platform’s artist ranking, with Chart Data citing his biggest Spotify day at 12.1 million streams and TMZ reporting his 2023 album reentered the Billboard 200.
• Dozens gathered for a candlelight vigil in Lake Elsinore to remember 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and a family GoFundMe surpassed its $20,000 goal, according to local coverage and the fundraising page.
• The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the remains as Rivas, described the body as severely decomposed, and deferred the cause of death pending further testing after the Sept. 8 discovery in an impounded Tesla registered to David Anthony Burke.
• LAPD Robbery-Homicide detectives executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills address tied to the musician and recovered several items for analysis, with TMZ reporting a computer was seized; police have not named a suspect.
• D4vd canceled U.S. and international tour dates as social media scrutiny intensified, including a resurfaced 2024 TikTok comment alleging contact with a 13-year-old, claims of disturbing reposted videos, and his subreddit being locked after users accused him of removing critical posts; these online claims have not been verified by authorities.
