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.

There's something extra sleazy about the fact that had he not murdered her, he likely would have just continued his career without any issue except maybe a slap on the wrist if his relationship came out at the wrong time. People knew, it was an open secret, it was joked about in his inner circle, yet things were perfectly fine right up until he actually got arrested. The music industry is apparently fine with grooming kids, but murder is a step too far.

He didn't do it for Moloch or Baal is why they have a problem with it

Only because he got caught. And even then, if he somehow beat the charges I wouldn't put it past the industry to work with him.

Judge has agreed to move to trial.

It seems the defense is going to argue that according to their interpretation of the text messages Celeste was actually the one that had murderous intent and that D4vd either acted in self defense or that she was suicidal and stabbed herself twice without leaving any hesitation marks somehow. They also argued that D4vd "didn't have malice" toward Celeste... even though he was raping her, cut her body into pieces with a chainsaw, and had her body rotting in his Tesla for 220 days...

Look everyone... "no malice:"


Patrick Steinfeld, representing Celeste's parents, had this to say:

Post-Preliminary Arraignment (basically the charges are updated, the defendant enters their plea, and a trial date is set) in a month. Next court date: 8/31/2026

Imagine being insanely rich and throwing everything away just so you could fuck and kill a middle school girl. Nigger behavior.

The defense is actually unironically going with "your honor my client had no choice but to rape and murder her in self defense."

Oh my fucking God.

Zero ability to think ahead.
Zero ability to comprehend consequences.
Zero ability to control impulses.

Oh my fucking God.

He then had no choice but to rap about murdering her complete with an anime video about his OC Donutsteel murdering a girl in her likeness.

He’s going on trial. Hope they have a solid case.

Are the Tesla cameras positioned enough to see you putting something like a dead body in the trunk?

There are a fuck ton of Mexicans in LA, so many that it's not going to be possible to keep every single one off the jury pool, that combined with the mountain of physical evidence makes it a slam dunk.

He's cooked.

"Granted but please use the Hard-R in this court"

Welp at least his defense team is even more stupid than he is, at this point if he somehow ends up free theres no other option but to burn california to the ground

Wasn't Celeste super tiny? Like 4.11 and 90ish pounds? I know D4vid isn't a big guy himself but it's going to take a lot of suspension of disbelief to make a jury think that this small child was a threat to a grown man.

 

[A Sentient Cloud]

I don't envy his defense team, this might be the most airtight case of first-degree murder I've ever seen.

Tesla have cameras that give them a 360 view of the car when it’s in sentry mode. It was really funny watching morons getting arrested for vandalizing them couple years ago.

But what if she called him the N-word, your honor?

Have you considered he is black and the victim isnt?

A single black juror who holds the line is all they need. And they will 100 percent move heaven and earth that they get multiple niggers on the jury.

Celeste's medical report lists her height as 5'2" while D4vd's inmate information has him at 5'5" 125 lbs.

 

[frozen_runner]

He should be put to death for his stage name alone. How am I supposed to pronounce that? "Du-Four-Vid?"

This. If Karmelo Anthony's jury was majority black, then he'd be walking free. Blacks will do anything to "not put another brotha in jail". They don't care if said "brotha" was a pedophile murderer. Most blacks get molested by their own family members, so they likely don't even see it as a big deal that he groomed a child. They might even accuse the child of being racist or something retarded, like how they tried to act like Austin Metcalf was a "racist bully" (BASED ON NOTHING) to justify Karmelo Anthony's murder of him. D4vd and Celeste often referred to each other as "nigga/nigger" in their texts to each other, so I wouldn't be surprised if some BLM activist tries to twist that to say Celeste was racist. They're already trying to claim that Celeste was trying to kill D4vd, despite the fact she's a little girl and he's a grown black man.

I hope they have this manlet in the child's size penitentiary uniform
