21-year-old singer D4vd has been arrested in connection to the chilling death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez—whose body was found inside a Tesla linked to him months later.
The car sat untouched for weeks. The investigation stayed quiet. A grand jury was already watching.
Now he’s in custody. No bail.
But here’s the question no one can answer yet…

D4vd’s attorneys, Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter, told TMZ … “the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”
The lawyers also said there’s “no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed.” They vowed to “vigorously defend David’s innocence.”
As we reported, Rivas’ body was found chopped up inside D4vd’s Tesla on September 8, 2025, after the car had been impounded. Cops were called to Hollywood Tow when her decomposing corpse started to smell, discovering her remains inside the trunk. Police have not disclosed a motive.
