Crime D4vd Arrested for Murder of Celeste Rivas - Groomer turned baby mama murderer finally gets comeuppance

Singer D4vd has been arrested for the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who was found dead in Hollywood in the trunk of his Tesla in September.

According to the LAPD, D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was arrested by the Robbery-Homicide Division for the murder of Hernandez and is being held without bail. The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s office on Monday for filing consideration.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they were investigating a trip the 21-year-old took to the Santa Barbara area sometime during the spring of 2025 following Hernandez’s death. A spokesman for the musician said in September that he was “fully cooperating with authorities,” though as of Nov. 18 NBC Los Angeles reported Burke was no longer cooperating with law enforcement.

Officers were called to a tow yard on Sept. 8 following reports of a foul odor coming from the car, which had been on the property for several days. Police found a dismembered body that had been placed inside of a bag in the front trunk of the vehicle.

The car was registered in Hempstead, Texas to Burke and impounded after being abandoned in the Hollywood Hills, where neighbors complained of a rotting smell. As of Sept. 9, the case was being treated as a death investigation.

Hernandez was reported missing from her home in Lake Elsinore, Calif., last year. She was last seen in April 2024, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. After her body was found, police said that because a manner of death had not been determined.

Shortly after the discovery, Burke quietly canceled his U.S. tour and postponed the promotion of his deluxe album.

I swear if any of his family members come out to say what a dindu nuffin david is they can enjoy the cell next to him. There certainly has to be other people involved? No way this retard did all this himself

Scariest thing is that this dude apparently has an 8 year old sister?? Imagine what having THIS as an older brother would do to you, knowing his grown ass was grooming 10 yos on fortnite and having 10 terabytes of CP on his icloud, wtf. Put this dude and his dumb fucking boots in the deep fryer.

Ok sorta off topic but what's up with the shower cap thing some black guys use? Presumably it's a hair thing?

Humidity. Black hair gets really fucked up in humidity. Shower caps became the culturally acceptable response.

Bonnet, its a satin cap to protect their hair from friction while they sleep n sheet like that. Black women use them even more often than the men (and some white women do too) but most of them arent retarded enough to wear it outside the house since its basically part of their pajamas.

Newsom put a moratorium on the death penalty back in 2019; even before that, the last execution conducted by Cali was back in 2006. Not a factor.

He put a hold on them, but it's not been overturned in any official capacity. They can still sentence him to death with the possibility that a future governor can bring it back at any moment. Unlikely in California and perhaps not the strongest bargaining chip but it's still technically there.

 

[TJT]

I think being on Death Row vs LWOP is a totally different kind of sentence. Even if the execution is not carried out sitting in the death row bloc or whatever is objectively worse than being in the general population.

I listened to something today about this case. So the girl was actually fully dismembered and everything except the fingers were found in the trunk of his Tesla. Seriously how fucking dumb can you be? Burying her out in the woods without dismembering her and playing dumb would have been a better play.

The Tesla was IN YOUR FUCKING NAME. Like hoooollly fuck man, how can you be that retarded? This isn't even common sense it's basic cause and effect. If you wanted to get away with murder do that shit far away from where you live. It's just insane because you went through all of the effort to cut a body up but you skip the part of concealing it.

Just?????

this vid might shed more light on his upbringing...i haven't watched it myself yet, but the channel has done some decent video essays on other music figures

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

I swear I remember a song that went something like
"Hang the nigger, hang him high!"
"Hang him high, so his feet dangle in the sky."

But I can't find it anywhere. But it seems a good song for this monster.

Murdered Celeste Rivas, 14, may have been pregnant, updated death certificate suggests after singer D4vd was charged with killing her​

An updated death certificate for Celeste Rivas has indicated that it is unknown whether she was pregnant when she died, following singer D4vd's sensational arrest in the months-long investigation.

D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, 21, was arrested on murder charges earlier this month in connection with Rivas' death.

The fourteen-year-old was found a day after her 15th birthday, dismembered in a Tesla belonging to D4vd last September, according to the Los Angeles coroner.

Her death certificate at the time listed her as 'not pregnant,' but an updated document obtained by TMZ on Thursday revealed that the section has been modified to read that it was 'unknown' whether she was pregnant when she died.

The certificate has also been updated to read that her cause and manner of death were from 'multiple penetrating injuries,' and was ruled a homicide.

Rivas' injury date, hour, place and location are still listed as 'unknown.' The updated death certificate also now lists the injuries she sustained were from 'objects.' The original certificate from September had left that section blank.

Rivas' autopsy report, previously obtained by the Daily Mail, revealed that she sustained knife wounds to her liver and her chest.

She was found months after she was reported missing in an abandoned vehicle. By the time investigators found her remains, her head was partially skeletonized and missing an eye, the autopsy report read.

Pregnant too? Jesus, it literally gets worse every day.

There's a rumor she was dismembered in a kiddie pool with a chainsaw.

I think being on Death Row vs LWOP is a totally different kind of sentence. Even if the execution is not carried out sitting in the death row bloc or whatever is objectively worse than being in the general population.

I listened to something today about this case. So the girl was actually fully dismembered and everything except the fingers were found in the trunk of his Tesla.

It almost makes me wonder if the dismemberment was more part of his overall murder fantasy than an actual attempt at concealment. Like once he's killed her and then chopped her up the "fun" part of it was all finally over for him, and now it all just became work.

Driving somewhere remote and digging a hole takes actual effort, since that part wasn't psychologically titillating for him he just said fuck it and called it good.

Being a zoomer streamer who's never had a real job or had to put real effort into anything I don't think it's that far fetched for him to just ignore something that wasn't going to be easy to do and that he couldn't just have someone else take care of for him. He kept telling himself "I'll do that shit tomorrow" until he finally ran out of time, and then decided he'd just ditch the car, go on his tour, and hope for the best.

Fucking awful, what a shithead.

California has charged people before with additional counts of murder for pregnancies. I know it makes no sense in the context of absurd abortion availability but I wouldn't complain about the hypocrisy if they go that route with this shithead.

 

[namelesstacotruck]

Didn’t they say they had proof he was the last one to drive it/ left it where it was found? I don’t understand that part at all.

He left it somewhere and probably told a flunkie/aid to get it destroyed.

The person either fucked up because fellow nigger or was smart enough to know not to touch this with a 10 foot pole and tell the nigger "sure i did". If the situation was fucked its not like the nigger can say anything and if its not "sorry made a mistake on the car thing" would be pretty forgivable. This being LA famous people setting up people to take a fall in their entourage is pretty normal.

If a "friend" tells you to dump a car for them. You are a retard to do so unless your in why they want it dumped. And if its a innocent reason they wont be mad at you for not doing it. Its psycho pedo murder version of the red button blue button meme going around. Like no nigger i aint dumping your car.

Wouldnt shock me if former employees are on the witness list and this would come up at trial.

Well one thing that I didn't see discussed yet but its in this video below. He apparently ordered Celeste an Uber from HER parents house in Lake Elsinore to his house in Hollywood or wherever the fuck he was living. Which is the last time anyone saw her alive. Failing to realize that the entire Uber transaction, route, time, drop off point, and so on is recorded.

During that time he sent her a bunch of text messages asking why she wasn't at his place yet. Most likely she was already dead when he did that. Also not realizing that her phone would record that it was at his house.

Too bad D4Vid’s next stop isn’t the morgue.

Not a rumor. It's part of the prosecution.

When you're on death row you're on 24/7 lockdown in a cell like 1/4 the size of a normal one and you're not allowed in the yard, out for recreation, or to interact with gen pop in any way.

sitting in the death row bloc or whatever is objectively worse than being in the general population.

So, in CA, San Quentin's death row is infamously much nicer than general pop. Sure, you're denied certain privileges, but it was known for being much cleaner, quieter and safer back in the day - and you have a solo cell instead of roomies. Since Newfag put a moratorium on the death penalty, a lot of "condemned" dudes got put in with general pop and being "death row" means a lot less.

Honestly, David is gonna want the kind of safety the Death Row pop gets. High visibility inmate like him is gonna get jumped really quick if he's not on at least a 1:1.

'unknown' whether she was pregnant when she died.

Am I wrong here in thinking this means less that they think she was pregnant and more that she was human compost soup by the time they recovered her remains and it would have been difficult to determine at that stage (unless she had been far enough along for a coffin birth like poor Shannan Watts)?

Driving somewhere remote and digging a hole takes actual effort, since that part wasn't psychologically titillating for him he just said fuck it and called it good.

I wonder if the drive to the lake in Santa Barbara wasn't him attempting to dispose of the remains, only something stopped him. Maybe a camper saw him or someone recognized him or something.

He didn't even make much of an effort to ditch the car, he just left it in the fucking Hollywood hills to collect parking tickets until it got towed.
