- Record‑label and tour executive Robert Morgenroth testified over multiple days and was overheard saying the deputy district attorney pressed him on why he didn’t call police, to which he claimed it wasn’t his responsibility and he wanted to keep the tour going.
- Deputy D.A. Beth Silverman told attorney Evan Jenness she would seek a court “body attachment” for a female witness who failed to appear, a step that could have the witness taken into custody to compel grand‑jury testimony.

- Celeste Rivas’ dismembered remains were found Sept. 8 in an impounded Tesla registered to the singer, and investigators continue to pursue digital and vehicle data, a reported second person of interest, and evidence tied to a searched Hollywood Hills rental.
