Officials said D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke and is a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles, is being held in connection with the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez without bail. Sources told ABC News the arrest is based on evidence and probable cause that was developed. It was not an indictment. Related The LAPD said the case will be presented to the L.A. District Attorney’s Office on Monday for filing consideration. In a statement, the singer's attorneys maintained his innocence, saying: "Let us be clear - the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death. There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence." Rivas Hernandez, a 14-year-old from Lake Elsinore in Riverside County, was reported missing in 2024, investigators confirmed to ABC News in October. According to sources at the time, the girl's body was dismembered, and the process of dismembering and disposing of her body is believed to have likely involved more than one person.
