AceShowbiz - Singer D4vd is target of Los Angeles grand jury investigation into teen's death, according to court documents in a case involving the tragic death of a 14-year-old girl whose remains were discovered last year. Court files reveal that David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, is under scrutiny in Los Angeles County related to Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s disappearance and death.
Investigators found Hernandez’s dismembered remains inside the front trunk of D4vd’s Tesla after the vehicle was reported abandoned on a Los Angeles street. The discovery occurred months after Hernandez was reported missing from Lake Elsinore, California. The car was impounded following reports of a strong odor of decay emanating from the storage compartment, leading law enforcement to uncover the grim contents.
The court documents state that a grand jury investigation is ongoing, with both D4vd’s parents summoned to appear as witnesses. His father, Dawud Burke, was ordered to testify, underscoring the seriousness of the inquiry. Despite the investigation, D4vd has not been formally charged or arrested, though police sources have identified him as a suspect. The singer’s legal representatives have not responded to requests for comment, while his spokesperson previously stated he was cooperating with authorities.
At the time the vehicle was impounded, D4vd was reportedly on tour but subsequently canceled the remainder of his U.S. shows following the discovery. This development has sent shockwaves through the entertainment community, as fans and observers grapple with the disturbing nature of the investigation.
The investigation continues to unfold amidst heightened media attention, but no further details on the circumstances surrounding Hernandez’s death have been released.
