LAPD Sources Say Singer D4vd Is Being Viewed as a Suspect in Teen’s Death Found in His Impounded Tesla

Charging decisions hinge on pending medical examiner findings.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing LAPD sources report that David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, is being considered a suspect, but no arrests or charges have been announced.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred the cause and manner of death, with toxicology and further testing still pending.
  • Sources say the 15-year-old, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, likely died in the spring and that dismembering and disposing of her remains probably involved more than one person.
  • Investigators served search warrants at a Hollywood Hills residence tied to the singer and seized evidence after the Tesla was ticketed, impounded, and later found to contain the body in its front trunk.
  • Law enforcement sources say the singer has not cooperated with the investigation, contradicting earlier statements from his representatives, and he canceled tour dates after the September discovery.
