The Los Angeles courtroom was buzzing when prosecutors displayed shocking crime‑scene photos of 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the girl found inside a Tesla trunk last year.
For her parents, the images were the first time they saw the details in full—a torso, a head and severed limbs—and even after a warning they couldn’t pull the sight from their minds.
The trial focuses on pop star D4vd, who is accused of ordering a body bag, chainsaw, an inflatable pool and a shovel online to hide a murder that prosecutors say was tied to sexual abuse allegations.
Prosecutors also presented evidence linking the singer to Celeste through tattoo markings, as well as online purchases delivered to his address after the death.
With the preliminary hearing expected to last several days, judges and the public watch closely as the case moves toward a jury trial.
