D4vd Accused in Celeste Rivas’ Death | Los Angeles News

A fourteen-year-old girl, Celeste Rivas Hernández, was allegedly murdered by musician D4vd — real name David Anthony Burke — in a shocking case involving sexual assault, dismemberment, and cover-up. Her family has filed a wrongful death suit naming Burke, his companies, managers, mother, and a security guard, accusing them of knowing or should have known about their toxic relationship. Prosecutors say Burke pressured her to abort a pregnancy, used a chainsaw to cut her body, and even amputated matching tattoos to hide evidence. Celeste’s remains were found weeks later in the trunk of his car. The family demands the death penalty, calling him “devoid of feelings,” while Burke denies all charges and recently switched lawyers — a move the victim’s team suspects is an asset protection tactic.
