Court documents from Los Angeles county describe the artist, 20, as the target in legal case over death of teen girl

More than six months after the body of a teenage girl was found in his abandoned Tesla, it emerged this week that the singer D4vd is the target of a Los Angeles county grand jury investigation.

In previously sealed subpoenas issued last month and recently obtained by the Associated Press, prosecutors described the 20-year-old artist, who is popular for hits such as Romantic Homicide, as the target in the legal case over the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

The documents say the target, David Burke, the Houston-born singer’s legal name, “may be involved in having committed the following criminal offenses against the laws of the State of California, to wit: One count of Murder”.

While police sources told media in November that Burke had been identified as a suspect, authorities had not publicly named Burke as a suspect.
