D4vd Set for Murder Trial | Oakland News

D4vd, the rising singer known as David Burke, is headed to trial for first-degree murder after a judge ruled there’s enough evidence to proceed in the case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors painted a chilling timeline, citing forensic evidence, autopsy photos, and digital records—all while Burke remained stoic. Key clues included maggots in his car, financial records hinting at motive, and cell phone texts revealing the victim’s abortion and escalating tension. The defense argued the family consented to the relationship and claimed Burke was unaware of his wealth. Evidence also included pool fragments linked to the victim and questioned the handling of chainsaws found at the scene. Burke, currently held without bail, faces possible death penalty, with trial set to begin within 90 days. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
