A Los Angeles judge has ruled that there’s enough evidence to sustain charges against D4vd for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. But this by no means the end of the case — and the singer’s fate is still up in the air.
On Monday (July 27), Charlaine F. Olmedo decided in favor of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office following a five-day preliminary hearing against D4vd. Prosecutors allege the 21-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer (David Anthony Burke) stabbed and dismembered 14-year-old Rivas to protect his lucrative music career after she threatened to reveal their illegal sexual relationship.
