US singer D4vd<\/strong>, legally known as David Anthony Burke<\/strong>, has been accused by prosecutors of purchasing tools online, including chainsaws, after allegedly stabbing a teen girl to death. These serious allegations were detailed in an evidence filing, outlining his alleged motive and the steps prosecutors claim he took to conceal his actions before the dismembered body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez<\/strong> was discovered in his car.<\/p>\n Prosecutors allege that Burke met Rivas Hernandez when she was 11 and began sexually abusing her when she was 13, while he was 18. The filing states that the teen sent text messages threatening to expose their illicit relationship and “destroy his life” prior to her death. Burke has pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n Following the alleged stabbing at his home, prosecutors claim Burke made several online purchases using a fake name. These purchases reportedly included two chainsaws, an inflatable blue pool, a body bag, a shovel, and a “burn cage”<\/strong>, allegedly intended for incinerating evidence. The filing suggests he dismembered her remains in the garage of his Hollywood Hills home.<\/p>\n The investigation intensified when Los Angeles police responded to reports of a “foul odour” from a vehicle in a tow yard, leading to the discovery of dismembered human remains in an abandoned Tesla. The car was registered to a Texas address for the singer. Although severely decomposed, the remains were identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez through clothing, jewelry, and a distinctive “Shhh\u2026” tattoo on her index finger, similar to one on Burke’s finger.<\/p>\n Burke appeared in court, where his attorneys entered a plea of not guilty to multiple charges. These include first-degree murder, murder for “financial gain,” murder of a witness to an investigation, sexual acts with a minor, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation of a body<\/strong>. His lawyers stated they would “vigorously defend” his innocence. An attorney for the Rivas Hernandez family described the new details as “horrifying,” expressing the family’s immense pain.<\/p>\n The court filing provided a detailed timeline of events. Activity from Rivas Hernandez\u2019s cell phone ceased on the day she was allegedly killed. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Burke was the last person to drive his Tesla where the body was found. Prosecutors also allege that Burke had previous interactions with law enforcement regarding Rivas Hernandez, who had been reported missing by her family. Officials in Riverside County had informed him she was underage when they sought her at his Hollywood home in early 2024. Despite claiming unawareness, prosecutors allege Burke later arranged for a new phone to be delivered to her at her middle school.<\/p>\n D4vd, who gained fame on TikTok with hits like “Romantic Homicide,” had his worldwide tour cancelled following his arrest. He has largely retreated from public life and social media.<\/p>\n #D4vd #DavidAnthonyBurke #CelesteRivasHernandez #MurderAllegations #HollywoodCrime #TrueCrime #BodyDisposal #USSinger #CourtCase #JusticeForCeleste<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" US Singer D4vd Accused of Murder and Body Disposal US singer D4vd, legally known as David Anthony Burke, has been accused by prosecutors of purchasing tools online, including chainsaws, after allegedly stabbing a teen girl to death.
