D4vd Faces Murder Trial for Teen | Washington DC News

A Los Angeles judge has ordered singer D4vd to stand trial for first-degree murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, with prosecutors presenting a 21-minute timeline and graphic forensic evidence, while the defense argues the family consented to the relationship. Testimony from law enforcement and medical examiners, along with crime scene photos, digital records, and financial ties to Burke’s music career, paint a chilling picture — but the defense challenges evidence handling and points to texts and a travel permission slip as proof of parental approval. Burke remains jailed without bail as prosecutors weigh the death penalty; his next court date is August 10th, with pre-trial filings due August 31st and trial expected within 90 days. The DA called the crime “incredibly horrific,” while the defense insists Burke is innocent.
