AceShowbiz - David Burke, known professionally as D4vd, was taken into custody following his arrest for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas on April 16. The arrest was confirmed by the Los Angeles Police Department, and D4vd is currently being held without bail. He is scheduled to be formally presented to prosecutors on Monday according to reports from the New York Times.
The disturbing case came to light last September when the decomposing body of Celeste Rivas was discovered inside the trunk of an abandoned Tesla owned by D4vd. The vehicle had been left unattended for several weeks before being towed to Hollywood Tow, where employees noticed a strong foul odor emanating from the car. The discovery occurred just one day after Celeste's 15th birthday.
Celeste Rivas had been reported missing earlier in 2024 at the age of 13. Her family revealed that she was in a relationship with a boy named David. Authorities identified D4vd as a suspect in November, and police have indicated that they believe multiple individuals may have been involved in the crime.
The investigation remains ongoing as law enforcement continues to examine the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of Celeste Rivas. D4vd remains in custody as the legal process unfolds.
