R&B singer D4vd has been arrested on suspicion of murder, months after the severely decomposed body of a teenage girl was found in his Tesla, Los Angeles police said on Thursday.
The 21-year-old musician, who was born David Anthony Burke, is being held without bail, according to city authorities.
In September, LAPD detectives wercalled to a tow yard in Hollywood, after receiving reports of a foul odor emitting from an impounded car that was registered to Burke. Authorities found a dismembered body that was later identified as 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She had been reported missing in 2024, and was last seen in Lake Elsinore, approximately 60 miles south-east of downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles’s medical examiner’s office determined that Rivas Hernandez had been deceased in the vehicle for “an extended period of time before being found”.
