US musician D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has been charged with first-degree murder in the case of missing teenage girl Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her decomposed remains were found in September 2025 in a Tesla registered to Burke. The 21-year-old artist faces multiple charges, including murder for financial gain and for silencing a witness related to sexual acts involving the underage victim. The Los Angeles DA’s office has hinted that they may pursue the death penalty in this shocking case. Burke's lawyers have stated that there is actual evidence proving his innocence, claiming he did not cause Rivas Hernandez's death. As the investigation unfolds, the case raises serious concerns about access to justice for victims.
