Singer d4vd Arrested: Alt-pop singer d4vd, whose real name is David Burke, has been taken into custody by Los Angeles police in connection with a disturbing case involving a teenage girl’s death. Authorities confirmed that the 20-year-old artist, originally from Houston, is currently being held without bail as the investigation unfolds.
Car Linked to Singer Raises Suspicion
The case took a serious turn after the decomposed remains of a 14-year-old girl were discovered inside an abandoned car last year. Police revealed that the vehicle was registered in Burke’s name, which brought him under scrutiny. The condition of the car suggested it had been left unused for some time.
Investigation Still Ongoing
Law enforcement officials have clarified that the case is being treated as a suspected homicide. However, no formal murder charges have been filed yet. Investigators are expected to present the case to the District Attorney’s office on Monday to determine the next legal steps.
Victim Went Missing in 2024
The victim, identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was reported missing in 2024. For months, neither her family nor authorities had any leads about her whereabouts.
Remains Found Months Later
Her remains were eventually found on September 8, 2025, inside a vehicle parked at a Hollywood tow yard. According to police, the body was severely decomposed, indicating that she had died several weeks before being discovered.
