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.

the victim was a minor

Then where were her parents while she was getting raped by a nigger?

your raceplay fetish

The fact that’s what you got from my post says more about you than me, you weirdo.

Then where were her parents while she was getting raped by a nigger?

The parents were pretty clearly using her as a ticket for the "get knocked up by a millionaire nigger and get baby momma checks" lottery.

Can you please stop trying so desperately hard to fit in?

7 months too late. This creeper OBVIOUSLY did it from day 1. Alright due process, whatever, if he walked for a week I could understand it. But there's so much evidence they were together. Its his car. All the imagery in his "art". He should have been behind bars months and months ago.

 

[pwnest injun]

Her dead and dismembered body was found in his car.

How is that not at least enough evidence for suspicion of murder?

I feel like I'm experiencing the Patrick's Wallet meme.

Maybe he raped and dismembered her in self defense?

I want to see the probable cause statement.

I want to see the probable cause statement.

Her autopsy records were sealed back in November by a judge, which makes the warrant affidavit not available to the public too.
LA County DA's office is going to present their case this Monday. He's expected to make an appearance.
He's been arrested for suspicion of murder, but formal charges still haven't been filed.

So I know we keep calling this niggo a rapper because we just assume any black musician who murders someone is going to be a rapper, but I've listened to a little bit of his music and while it is fucking terrible none of it really sounds like rap to me. It's just shitty r&b.

Yeah it’s pretty much more like hip-pop indie music shit. Hell it has more in common with Billie Ellish than rap.

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?

I'm not a fan of the LAPD but often in murder cases the police will try to find all complicit parties so letting the guy go free and saying he wasn't a suspect would keep other would be accomplices around. It woud also make him feel at ease so he would A talk about the murder while being recorded or B visit some key place in the murder timeline. Like the murder site, where something of hers could be found which would tie him and her to the location.

Also OJ gave the DAs office PTSD and they really shy away from bringing charges until they have a slam dunk case.

If only the pedo were white, then that would have been based and trad

The fact that’s what you got from my post says more about you than me, you weirdo.

The dude whining about race-mixing in the case of a murder and rape of a minor is calling me weird. huh.

The parents were pretty clearly using her as a ticket for the "get knocked up by a millionaire nigger and get baby momma checks" lottery.

Her parents really should be charged or investigated at the very least

When you make up what other people say, you win.

whining about race-mixing

Amusing you weren’t as offended by other posters saying things like ‘around blacks, never relax’. But do go off, selectively of course. Seems to me you spend most of your time here looking for unpopular posts to get a hook into people for a reaction.

I mean, don’t take this personally, but you’re one of the most worthless posters I’ve ever seen. I’ve literally never seen a single post from you that rises above /b/-tier trolling. A brief scroll through your recent posts reveals most of your activity is just attacking other posters over nothing.

So I’m just going to assume you actually are the profoundly retarded, gigantic piece of shit you choose to present yourself as, and simply stop paying attention to your posts. You enjoy the rest of your trolling career here and have a great day.

Hm? Didn't see those, saw yours though. Stop whining!

Take your own advise chuddie cause you are pissing all over yourself

Salutations! I'll cannot wait for more high quality and well informed takes from you.

Why interrupt a nigger when he's making a mistake? This stupid faggot- having straight up murdered a young spic girl- hired a lawyer who is basically known for running Hollywood PR when her clients have not actually committed any crime (she repped Mel Gibson twice after he did nothing wrong). She is more a PR agent than a lawyer.

https://www.aol.com/news/d4vd-brings-powerhouse-team-fought-195837382.html

Her only experience with murder charges was defending Monica Sementilli. Who got life in prison for murdering her husband. Because there's a death penalty moratorium in California.

Should work out well for this niggerfaggot!

 

[drammamean]

My guess is for some reason they couldn't get a warrant for his DNA, or didn't try to for whatever reason. When this is the case the police literally follow the suspect around until they throw something away they can gather a DNA sample from and because the nigger was on tour it dragged the process out because he simply wasn't around.

it’s beyond over for this nigger.

Charges:
>First Degree Murder with Special Circumstances

• Lying in wait - D4vd lured Celeste to his home under the false pretenses of "having a conversation" to stab her to death.
• Committing Murder for Financial Gain - D4vd murdered Celeste after she threatened to go to the police and expose his pedophilic relationship with her, so he killed her to maintain his lucrative music career (He got paid 3 million dollars upfront with royalties from his Fortnite collab 5 months after he killed her, as an example).
• Murdering a witness in an investigation - the LAPD had previously been investigating d4vd for lewd and lascivious acts against a minor under the age of 14. Celeste was the principal witness to this crime.

>Continuous Lewd and Lascivious acts involving a child under 14

• from between the September 2023 to September 2024, presumably most legally provable period of time.

>Mutilation of Human Remains

• D4vd dismembered her body and stuffed the pieces in two separate bags which he left decomposing in his car for 5 months.

>Use of a deadly weapon

• D4vd used a "sharp object' to murder Celeste, and then dismember her body.

How the crime happened:
>On or around April 23th, 2025, D4vd lured Celeste Rivas Hernandez (14) to his home in the Hollywood Hills.
>D4vd brutally murders her using a "sharp object".
>Two days later on April 25th, 2025 he announces his debut album, Withered.
>On or around May 5th, 2025, D4vd severs her arms and legs from her corpse.
>D4vd leaves Celeste's body to rot in his Tesla's front trunk for five months straight, during this he's increasing his social media profile, doing high level collaborations with Fortnite, Twitch streamers like JasonTheWeen, Pokimane, Ludwig Ahgren
>In July 2025, D4vd's Tesla is abandoned on Bluebird Avenue, "Unused and Dirty"
>On August 28th, 2025, D4vd's Tesla was ticketed for violating the 72-hour parking ordinance
>On September 3rd, 2025, D4vd's abandoned Tesla is towed to Hollywood Tow Yard for exceeding the parking limit.
>On September 8th, 2025 Celeste's dismembered and badly decomposed remains in two cadaver bags, one containing her head and torso, stacked on top of another bag containing her severed arms and legs in D4vd's Tesla front-trunk, covered in bugs.

Motive:
The LAPD believes that D4vd lured Celeste to his home in the Hollywood Hills to murder her after she threatened to go public and expose his pedophilic crimes and sexual abuse to the police "on that particular night".

The LAPD had previously been investigating D4vd for Lewd and Lascivious Acts against a minor under the age of 14 (legalese for child molestation/rape), after her parents reported her missing multiple times. Celeste was considered the primary witness against him.

Penalty:
He's facing a maximum sentence of Life without the possibility of parole or the Death Penalty.


D4vd has pled not guilty. He is currently being held at LA County Men’s Central Jail.

He's being represented by Blair Berk, Regina Peter, and Marilyn Bednarski, high-dollar lawyers from Berk Brettler, the law firm that defended Harvey Weinstein in 2017.

There is 40 TB of evidence and discovery data that the District Attorney's office is currently processing. The Defense requested a preliminary hearing for a date which has not yet been announced.

---

He's BEYOND Fucked, it sounds like the LAPD got some really solid evidence, a strong timeline and has the noose ready to tighten. I'm glad they took into account all of the testimony of Celeste's schoolmates and the Discord logs. Honestly the death sentence might be too kind for this fucking freak, even though he deserves it.

Hopefully the jury and prosecution doesn't fuck this up.
