Grand Jury Grills D4vd Tour Executive Over Failure to Call Police in Teen’s Death Probe

Prosecutors are scrutinizing industry decisions around the discovery as they evaluate evidence in the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas.

Overview

  • Robert Morgenroth, who manages D4vd’s label and heads his touring company, testified before a Los Angeles grand jury for a full day on Monday.
  • He was overheard saying Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman pressed him on why he did not contact police, and that he felt it was not his responsibility and wanted to continue the tour.
  • LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division considers D4vd a suspect, and Rivas’ remains were found in an abandoned Tesla registered to him near a Los Angeles rental home.
  • A second person of interest has been identified by authorities, though no arrests or charges have been announced.
  • Forensic findings, including cause and manner of death, are still pending as the grand jury continues to hear evidence.
