D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, will continue to be held without bail.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe preliminary hearing began last Tuesday with prosecutors showing grisly photos taken from the crime scene where the body of the victim, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was found in September 2025. The pictures showed her dismembered body parts in the front trunk of Burke\u2019s Tesla. Prosecutors claimed that Burke had purchased two cadaver bags, a shovel and three different chainsaws following Hernandez\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThroughout the week, prosecutors laid out various allegations and findings. They claimed that nearly a dozen air fresheners were found in the Tesla where Hernandez\u2019s body was discovered, and an LAPD Criminalist stated that blood found inside Burke\u2019s garage was consistent with Rivas\u2019 DNA, according to People. Prosecutors also alleged that Hernandez and Burke texted about terminating a pregnancy when she was 14 years old, and messages shown in court on Monday suggested that Hernandez threatened to destroy Burke\u2019s career before her death. After prosecution rested, Burke\u2019s defense team chose not to call any witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBurke was arrested this past April and charged days later with a first-degree murder charge that could make him potentially eligible for the death penalty. He is also set to face charges for lewd acts with a child and for dismembering her body. Burke pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=5016\">ABC Sets Fall Premiere Dates for \u2018Shark Tank,\u2019 \u2018Abbott Elementary,\u2019 \u2018DWTS\u2019 and More<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tHernandez was last seen alive on April 23, 2025, when she went to Burke\u2019s home in the Hollywood Hills. In September 2025, her body was found in multiple bags in the front trunk of Burke\u2019s Tesla. Her arms and legs had been cut off and her body had significantly decomposed.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Los Angeles County medical examiner released an autopsy report showing that Hernandez died of multiple stab wounds and that the manner was \u201chomicide.\u201d She died from \u201cmultiple penetrating injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn April, prosecutors alleged that D4vd had a \u201csignificant amount\u201d of child pornography on his iCloud storage account during a hearing. Beth Silverman, deputy district attorney for Los Angeles County, said they uncovered eight terabytes of data on an iCloud account but had only been able to download one terabyte thus far. They also had found 20 to 30 terabytes of raw data across various devices. Burke had appeared at the hearing in an orange jumpsuit and was \u201cslumped\u201d in his chair.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=5014\">BuzzFeed Laying Off 35% of Its Employees After Byron Allen Takes Over Company<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A judge ruled that singer D4vd must stand trial for the murder of a 14-year-old girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[3994],"class_list":["post-5020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-d4vd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
