Singer Accused of Murdering Teen | Oakland News

A shocking courtroom revelation: 21-year-old singer D4vd, real name David Burke, faces murder and mutilation charges after allegedly stabbing to death 13-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez — then ordering body bags, chainsaws, and an inflatable pool to dismember her. Prosecutors say he targeted her because she threatened to expose their secret relationship, which could derail his skyrocketing music career. Evidence includes DNA-matched blood in his garage, photos of the dismembered body, and disturbing tattoos matching hers — including “Celeste” and “Shhh.” Burke, who claims he only met her once and thought she was 18, has pleaded not guilty.
