April 17 (UPI) -- Authorities in Los Angeles said Thursday that police have arrested singer D4vd for the murder of a missing 14-year-old girl whose decomposing body had been found late last summer in the trunk of his Tesla.

Police have been investigating the 21-year-old singer D4vd since late summer, when the body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in his car, which had been sitting for weeks in the Los Angeles impound lot.

In a brief statement Thursday, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that detectives arrested Burke for Rivas' murder.

He was being held without bail and the case was to be presented to the district attorney's office on Monday, the LAPD said.
