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.

Good, I hope the Feds have an airtight case that's able to lock this faggot up for the rest of his life.

Smug piece of shit was so confident he'd be able to pull off this murder he planted hints in all of his songs and themed his first (now final) tour after a funeral, naming it "Withered" in reference to Celeste's decaying body and flying international thinking he could get away with it like some Light Yagami style faggot anime villain.

You and I know that he did it, because he hid her rotten body in his car and stashed it in a junkyard.

He knows that he did it, because he hid her rotten body in his car and stashed it in a junkyard.

The cops know that he did it, because he hid her rotten body in his car and stashed it in a junkyard.

The cops took their time because Reasonable Doubt is a powerful thing. Diddy got off with 5 years, having his RICO charge (extremely hard to prove) and his more serious sex trafficking charges because the feds couldn't convince the jury that what he was doing was systemic in nature (RICO) or coercive (sex trafficking).

D4vd does have a strong lawyer but he doesn't have Diddy's level of clout ("King of New York") in LA, so here's to hoping he gets a jury that isn't (partially) biased in his favor like Diddy's.

What the fuck? I'm genuinely confused. He wasn't arrested until now? Or did he get arrested and get bailed out or something previously? How did it take this long?

D4vd has Harvey Weinstein's lawyer signed on as his defense. The LAPD did the smart thing of taking their time to make sure they'd be able to make a case strong enough to crucify him.

His family was dragging out court proceedings from what I can recall.

His family refused to cooperate with the police.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

Thats a fair point but what I don't understand is why they couldn't spend this time building a strong case while he's in jail under suspicion of murder.

Because California is batshit insane, and even the retard cops have realized that if bring someone in you better have a fucking airtight case right away or some judgeass is going to release the nigger, and even idiot niggers will realize that they're fucked and run.

As it was, they kept tabs on where he was, no doubt alerted the systems that trigger if he tries to leave the country, and build up enough evidance to even keep a CA judge silent.

All the above would be triply in play if the girl's family is being uncooperative for whatever reason, and any family who lets a 12 year old fuck off to die in a frunk probably has some shit they don't want the cops and world seeing.

 

[YouGuysAren'tThatSmart]

20 bucks says the dindu gets a lenient like all other violent melonated dindus?

 

[Troonos]

Shame. He's one of the few modern nigger recording artists whose music I can actually tolerate. Sad he turned out to be one of the most irredeemably evil monsters on earth.

 

[Dysnomia]

Tl;dr for those who don't know the full story and don't wanna read the article: Pedo nigger rapper raised by well-off fundies groomed, and abducted a 12-year-old girl, murdered her roughly a year later, left her rotting in the trunk of his car for possibly months, and wrote several songs basically self-snitching about the entire thing.

Also, the girl's family is shady, too, and it's unclear when she was exactly murdered as the last confirmed sighting of her, and possible digital evidence of her being alive are months apart with the latter being the final one, and that itself also being several months before her body was found.

I didn't know he came from well off fundie parents. I assumed he was ghetto as fuck. Everyone knew he was guilty. I guess the cops needed time to put together a strong case. Yet the way he discarded the body was so retarded I'm wondering why they needed to wait this long. I hope this sicko groomer gets put away forever.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

Hi there, shitlib California lawyer here.

Can any of you prove that she WASN'T actually murdered by white supremacists and the racist cops just planted her body on D4vd's car to prevent another black man from having a successful rap career?

Thought not.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Everyone knew he was guilty.

They knew to a common sense standard. But not to a legal standard. There’s a difference and it is one that requires a lot of effort and patience to work through.

 

[Trigger Me Timbers]

What the fuck? I'm genuinely confused. He wasn't arrested until now? Or did he get arrested and get bailed out or something previously? How did it take this long?

How in God's name did it take this long? Even if they didn't have hard evidence for the murder they had hard evidence he was grooming and raping a 14 year old. Do US prosecutors only arrest a black guy if they can't find a mexican or a white to blame it on?

So after reading the article, it says that David stopped cooperating with the police about a month into the investigation.

I’m not trying to be racist, but when black people close off in interrogations, they adopt a sort of “Teflon” logic that I only see black people be able to pull off. It’s basically pleading the 5th but due to retardation.


I have watched enough interviews to see how his interrogation went after they started accusing him.

David’s slumped in a chair like he just doesn’t care like he’s almost gonna pass out. The police bring a whole of evidence against him which basically makes it almost undeniable it’s him (last person to see the victim alive, found in his car, which he never reported missing or stolen, literally wrote songs about it, and other evidence they collect, etc.)

Now this is where the Teflon retard logic comes into play, which I can’t see any other race pulling off. You do this to a white person. They will try their best to make the story work. The police will normally say “how they get in your car dead? Was it magic?” And a white person, will do backflips trying to make a story that works, and that is cohesive, but of course that just ends up making more and more holes until they break down and confessed because they realize that their story is not gonna hold up in court.

Teflon retard logic however they will pretty much just say “*sucks teeth* shhheeeett I don’t know mang, maybe it wuz magic?“ and leave it at that. They won’t offer any explanation to why all the evidence points towards them, but that is honestly the best thing you can do outside or just straight out, pleading the fifth.

That’s why police will do everything they can to just get a confession out of you because if they don’t have a confession, they’re gonna have to do all the DNA, all of the forensics has to point at them and it has to be pretty damn solid because if it isn’t, they could go lose and then you may have a double Jeopardy/miss-trial situation on your hands

 

[Big Lenny]

About fucking time

 

[who dare wins?]

Question: Do you think the family knew this was going on considering how shady they are? There is no way she was being pawned off, especially since I remember people saying she would just up and disappear for months at a time from school.

 

[BinaricHate]

I wonder if he will use his anime inspired alter ego named "It4mi" as defense in court.

D4vd (David Anthony Burke) created a fictional, murderous alter ego named Itami (meaning "pain" in Japanese) to represent a "murderous" and "chaotic" character, largely inspired by anime, manga, and films like Fight Club. Itami is central to his music video storytelling, particularly in "Romantic Homicide," and features as a "blindfolded antagonist" who commits violent acts, often compared to the detective's dark side in his own creative manga

"Noo yo honaah. It ain't me who done slimed out that hooe. It wuzz my Japanese anime headmate n shiee. I dindu noffin yo honaah!!"

Look at the comments. Most of them about d4vd.

I would be interested to know how often this tactic results in catching a killer vs how often it just wastes time by casting suspicion on an innocent fool.

It’s a leverage tactic. It opens up the cop to opportunities for psychological pressure.

You have to remember that a cop’s job is to identify someone who can carry charges ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’. It doesn’t matter whether a suspect is guilty. What matters is whether the cop can put together a case that the DA is happy to take to trial and thereby clear the ‘murder board’.

If they can get away with depriving you of food, water, sleep, cigarettes or legal counsel and apply enough other psychological stress to get you to admit culpability, they will. And being able to lean back in their chair, look a suspect in the eye and say “you do know that the murderer is always the last person to see the victim alive, right?” is a powerful and unsettling tool in their arsenal.

As far as your complaints as to the lead time of the investigation, celebrity trials since OJ have been very much handled as carefully and scrupulously as possible. Especially when the perp is a nigger, not only does your evidence and evidentiary chain have to be utterly watertight, you also need to make sure any cops involved have infallibly squeaky clean records around racial bias, brutality etc.

I’d prefer they take a year to build a case and make it bulletproof than they charge the perp in 48-72 hours then find the arresting officer’s departmental nickname was ‘Koon’ Killin’ Kletus’.

 

[tehpope]

Serious post, nigger had the upper eschelon of twitch streamers go to bat for him when the body was discovered. it was an open secret he was dating a 12/13/14 y/o. On his discord. among his friends. in the area he lived in. And no one did a god damn thing. He did pay a lot of people off. I wanna see blood. I wanna see the ceo of twitch be brought to congress to explain himself and shit.

Dear feature tourists: do not shit up this thread. Also, NIGGER. There, I said it for you.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but d4vd got his start as a Fortnite streamer making original songs for his gameplay edits to avoid copyright strikes AND he's best friends with Faze clan's JasonTheWeen, Pokimane and Ludwig, so I'll put this here.

d4vd, aka David Anthony Burke (born March 28, 2005) is a Twitch streamer/Alternative R&B musician from Queens NY. As mentioned before, he got his start in music trying to evade Twitch's copyright system, and has been making his way up the...

At "best", D4vd is a child raping pedophile. At worst, this fucking freak groomed a girl, raped her, manipulated her with gifts, money, and clout, kidnapped her from her family, and murdered her right before he started on his world tour, where he would sing a discography written almost entirely about his obsession with her to an audience of millions of unknowing, adoring fans.

 

[Thought precriminal]

Also, the girl's family is shady, too,

I don't see that at all. I just see a lower class beaner family. Such people are characterized by low agency and low functioning, and so you get situations where a daughter literally just leaves and goes missing for days, weeks, months, and the parents don't really do much about it. Family bonds probably weren't that great, either. You see a similar attitude among the lower class White trash in the UK who were the primary target of the Pakistani rape gangs.
There is a huge difference between these people and, say, a middle class or upper-middle class family like the McCanns who have the motivation and connections to raise a massive stink when their daughter goes missing.

Dan Clancy will never face consequences. This is just another credit to his name on the list of shit he gets away with daily being the 80s Party CEO of Twitch at or near 80.

Streamers themselves are fairly lawless fucks doing whatever they want and facing consequences based on how many views they get. And even then a lot of them have connections anyway that will help get them off the hook so they can keep fucking around because they are fucking thug criminals.

This is a cope I can get behind. I sincerely hope you're right.

"Actually she died of an overdose and I got scared anxious and depressed and didn't know what to do. I needed time to unpack this and process my grief and trauma."

They absolutely knew and among that class of brownoid it's normal, acceptable, even potentially a good thing since the nigger that was grooming her was rich and famous and they didn't expect her to have better prospects. And I'd bet they've been paid off to keep quiet and not cooperate- or the family's half illegals.

Teflon retard logic

You see a lot of this on bodycam footage too. Saw one a day or so ago where a female somalinigger is being arrested at a bank for trying to cash a forged check.
Cop: “So who gave you the check?”
FSN: “It’s a rent check.”
Cop:: “Okay, but who gave it to you?”
FSN: “It’s for rent.”
Cop: “I understand that, but how did you get the check?”
FSN: “It’s for my rent.”
For three solid fucking minutes.
