Singer D4vd Arrested for Murder of 14-Year-Old Celeste Rivas
Singer D4vd was arrested Thursday for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The TikTok star's real name is David Anthony Burke. Police found the girl's decomposed body in the trunk of his abandoned Tesla last September.
TikTok star D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Los Angeles Police Department detectives from the Robbery-Homicide Division made the arrest.
The case began last September when police discovered Celeste's decomposed remains inside the trunk of D4vd's abandoned Tesla. The 14-year-old had been reported missing before her body was found.
D4vd became popular on TikTok and other social media platforms for his music. He had been the target of a grand jury investigation into the apparent murder for months before his arrest.
Police have not released details about what led them to charge the singer or how he allegedly knew the victim. The investigation involved multiple law enforcement agencies working together on the case.
This case shows how social media fame doesn't protect anyone from serious criminal charges. It also highlights the ongoing problem of violence against young people, especially missing teens whose cases often get less attention.
D4vd will likely face formal charges and a court appearance. Police may release more details about the investigation.
