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.

(Under this logic? That means in the UK? It would be the "FROOT" which is much much worse)

Atp the only logical explanation outside of him just being a complete retard is that he was high asf on some type of drug cocktail when he finally decided to try to get rid of the body and continued his bender for multiple weeks afterwards bc wtf

I do think that silencing her from ruining his career was one motivating factor and might have been the final straw when they had some dramatic argument, BUT it's very likely he also has a very perverse interest in mutilation, dismemberment, creating gore in real life because he apparently had gore porn and things like that on his device, if I recall correctly

also the foreshadowing (cutting off arm of girl who looks like Celeste while he's an anime protagonist) in his music videos makes a lot more sense if he has a perverse interest/fixation on dismemberment and fore than if he merely did it just for the sake of saving his career

the guy overall gives the vibe of someone truly sick in the head rather than one who felt he had to commit murder for opportunistic career saving reasons, so even if preserving his career & rep was *A* factor (especially for the specific moment it happened), it was almost certainly not the only one. In fact even if she never threatened to leak, he may have done it anyway at a later point in time and in a circumstance where he could more easily get away with it



also I looked at his astrological chart. His Scorpio Moon being squared by Aquarius Chiron and Mars, as well as Cancer Lilith bending his nodes ... points to my interpretation that sexual perversion was definitely a major factor that can't be ruled out here

 

[Falcos_Commisar]

it’s beyond over for this nigger.

5 foot 5 and 125lbs....

Wow he's a short skinny black nerd who is also a disgusting pederast (pedophile but I think the word pederast fits as pedophiles are gay)

He's going to have a GREAT time in prison.

Also, beware the small skinny black nerd archetype, they can be insanely depraved.

Also, anyone wondering why this 13/14 year old girl's parents/family didn't care ...... It's common in the Hispanic community for teenage girls to run off with their wannabe cholo boyfriends and get knocked up. They (probably) either didn't give a shit or were hoping they guy she was screwing around with had money so they'd win the barrio lottery.

“If I didn’t wanna get murdered, I woulda moved da hell out dah way”.

I was getting boondocks vibes from this whole fucking idiot fiasco.

Aaron Macgruder is probably still asshurt R Kelly got locked up 15+ years after this episode aired.

 

[GeorgeFloydFentanylStash]

The nigger got mad cause the Tesla autopilot didnt drive into the lake for him.

Its dat busted ass cracka Elons fault that other nigger got setup!

Elon just keeping the black man down.

 

[Alan Shore]

I just can't fathom why he would drive less than a minute to dump the car and then say "okay good enough" and walk the three minutes home. I know he's retarded, but still.

This wasn't his permanent plan for disposing of the body, he never intended on police finding it in a car registered in his name. Keep in mind that the only reason the corpse was even discovered after half a year is because someone reported the car as abandoned, it was towed, and David didn't notice the car had gone missing for 2 days because he was on tour. He bought a burn cage on Amazon so I guess his plan was to eventually incinerate the remains.

It's possible he just felt safer stashing it somewhere nearby that he felt more in control of, like a nigger version of The Tell-Tale Heart. My guess is that he wanted it close enough to where he could go to revisit it (and there's some evidence to this effect in the filing) in order to observe the process of decay, because he seems sexually fixated on that kind of thing (the tour he was on while Rivas's body was rotting in his car was called the "Withered" tour), but he had to move it some distance away from his house because of the smell.

I don't know exactly what filing the Law&Crime Network on Youtube is quoting here at around 18:35, but they state that he "lied to friends, business associates, and others about the strong smell of decay in and around the home and the car."
Remember the police had already been to his home once the first time she was reported missing, he probably believed they might come back and the smell would give them probable cause to search.

Thank you, that was all very helpful (and horrifying).
It's crazy to think if he had parked it on a different street or that person didn't make that call, her body might not have been found.

While the tour officially started August 5th, as far as I understand the shows actually started July 30th in San Francisco. Meaning that if he parked his Tesla July 29th it's fair to conclude that this was directly related to him going on tour.

That leaves me with only two conclusions: He either thought it was safer to stash the body away from his home, or this was some kind of retard masterplan where he wanted it to be found and thought he could claim he was away and thus had nothing to do with it.

Or he wanted to be exposed, but I don't really believe that.

Either way he seems to be so retarded that it's hard to really comprehend what the fuck his plan was.

I don't even understand this nigger's artist name. What's it supposed to say, dwarfed?

I don't think even the nigger gangs are going to protect a dude who killed a minor girl. But just so you know, a pederast is a homosexual male paedophile.

 

[Jace on ice]

If he really was sexually aroused by gore, dismemberment, and decay as suggested by the prosecution than the only upside to this horrific series of events is that they arrested him before he could commit any more murders because that's serial killer pathology.

 

[Floralfeline]

I kinda figured this MF did it. Nothing wrong with growing up in a religious household. But the moment you start blowing up, you get hello Kitty drip and making edgy music videos using actresses resembling the girl you groomed for months? And here I thought that faggot Zillakami from City Morgue was gonna be arrested on CSAM charges the way D4VD was moving.

Groomed her for years. Since she was 11.

Is there some reason he couldn't have just parked the car on his own property? This would at least reduce the odds of your car being towed. He had a garage, just leave it in there. As long as you kept up on rent nobody would have came around while you're on tour.

I mean, I get that that would be more incriminating but parking your car a few hundred meters from your driveway isn't any less incriminating.

While the tour officially started August 5th, as far as I understand the shows actually started July 30th in San Francisco. Meaning that if he parked his Tesla July 29th it's fair to conclude that this was directly related to him going on tour.

He killed the bitch in April though. So he had the dead body around for a solid 3 months before he skipped town?

Rate me MATI but calling a child who was groomed from the age of 11 by some predator that eventually murdered and dismembered her "a bitch" is disgusting and you should kill yourself.

Apologies for my callous tone kind sir.

He definitely has the makings of a serial killer. Better he gets tossed in the clink forever now than 40 years from now when they finally realise all these dismembered girls have something in common. His complete retardation in getting rid of the body probably saved a lot of lives.

 

[The Judean People's Front]

retard masterplan where he wanted it to be found

He had a garage, just leave it in there.

I kinda wonder if he didn't overestimate how easy it would be to dispose of a body. Even burning a body at crematorium heat doesn't actually reduce all bones to dust, and a burn cage from Amazon was in no way going to be capable of getting hot enough to fully dispose of a body. But he's a dumbass so maybe he didn't know that and was scoping out that lake as a burn spot? Maybe he thought there would be fire rings he could use there?

I think he REALLY hoped the car would be stolen or otherwise vandalized/broken into so he could claim the body was planted. Wouldn't be surprised if he left the keys in it and stuff trying to get it lifted. Car theft is really prolific in that area.

Can't really leave it in the garage - the summer heat and a decomposing body is gonna make a smell that you would detect walking past on the other side of the road. Plus, he was such a stupid asshole he probably simply didn't want his garage to smell bad.

I feel like something here broke down. Like, I almost wonder if he kept putting off disposing of the remains because he was basically trying to deny it to himself. If time didn't "get away" from him with partying and traveling and he just kinda didn't follow through? It's definitely the biggest question in the timeline at this point.

What is you guy's thoughts on the freezing of the body? I'm so confused on that. If he had the means to freeze her, why not leave her frozen longer? It makes no sense. (Law Enforcement confirmed she wasn't found frozen -LA is too hot for that- but not whether she was previously frozen. Although the freezing thing was literally just a tip TMZ got, so prob fake).

The fact that Boondocks episode still holds up today, hell the whole series really. I wish he'd come back. The black community has only gotten worse. He tried to warn us.

There may be other victims he groomed, too. Celeste was just his obsession. The fact he had her voice in some songs, look-alikes of her in his videos, and released albums on her birthday, it's safe to say his career revolved around her and the fucked up murderous fantasies he had. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get busted for this one (like if he was actually a genius mastermind and got away it) that the next album he made would be about whatever poor child he was obsessed with at the time.

Thing is like a plot of a bad move or show. Each new album is a different victim.

Niggers have no way to think conceptually past the current moment. They cannot consider consequences, they cannot plan for contingencies, they cannot ponder life five minutes from now let alone five years.

Honestly if he got away with it he wouldn’t know what to do with himself. Prolly literally confess at that point.
