A famous singer faces serious charges in Los Angeles. Police say David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, stabbed a teenage girl to death. The victim was Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She was 14 years old when she died. Police arrested Burke in April 2026. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and child sexual abuse charges.
Court documents reveal a disturbing relationship between the two. The sexual abuse began when the girl was 13 and Burke was 18. Text messages show that the teenager became pregnant. She later received an abortion. In one message, Burke apologized for "putting her through this". The girl replied that neither of them could care for a baby.
Authorities discovered Rivas Hernandez's body last September. Her remains were found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke. The autopsy proved extremely difficult due to the condition of the body. The doctor identified two stab wounds. One struck her liver. The other damaged her ribs. The hearing to determine if Burke will stand trial continues.
