Singer D4vd has been charged with the murder of a 14-year-old girl who authorities say was found dismembered in his Tesla last year. Los Angeles prosecutors said Monday that the 21-year-old singer whose legal name is David Burke was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She was 13 when her family last saw her in 2024.
Her long-dead body was found on the day before she would've turned 15. Burke's lawyers said after he was arrested Thursday that he did not kill Rivas Hernandez and they will defend his innocence.
