Prosecutors kicked off a much-anticipated hearing in D4vd’s murder case on Tuesday (July 21) with photos of severed body parts belonging to 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The 21-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer (David Anthony Burke) was charged in April with stabbing Rivas to death and dismembering the body after she threatened to derail his music career by exposing their illegal sexual relationship. Now, he’s facing a week-long preliminary hearing for a judge to determine if there’s sufficient evidence to sustain counts of first-degree murder, child sexual abuse and mutilating a body.
