D4vd Set for Murder Trial | Venice Beach News

D4vd, the 21-year-old singer, is set to stand trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were found in his Tesla last fall. A judge denied his defense’s motion to dismiss charges, citing sufficient probable cause. Prosecutors allege Celeste was killed to stop her from exposing abuse and to protect Burke’s music career, with evidence including damning texts, purchases like a chainsaw and body bag, and DNA found in his garage. Burke, who has pleaded not guilty, claims no intent to kill and points to messages showing concern and lack of witnesses. He remains jailed without bail as the case moves forward.
