<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rapper d4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of murder after a 14-year-old girl whose dismembered body was found in his Tesla last year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Los Angeles Police Department said Burke, 21, has been booked on suspicion of murdering Celeste Rivas Hernandez and is being held without bail.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery-Homicide Division, have arrested David Burke, a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles, for the murder of Celeste Rivas,&#8221; LAPD </span><a href="https://x.com/LAPDPIO/status/2044934044467769705?s=20"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on X, adding that the case will be presented to the L.A. County District Attorney&#8217;s office on Monday for possible charges.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Burke&#8217;s attorneys denied the allegations, saying in a statement that &#8220;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,&#8221; per </span><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/d4vd-arrested-suspicion-murder-celeste-rivas-lapd/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">CBS News</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David&#8217;s innocence.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 21-year-old singer initially continued touring after the remains were discovered in September 2025. He canceled the remainder of his tour after the victim was publicly identified.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rivas’ dismembered body was found in bags inside the abandoned Tesla that had been taken to the city impound. The car was searched after employees reported a foul stench coming from the vehicle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Riverside County Sheriff&#8217;s Department confirmed that Rivas was reported missing from Lake Elsinore more than a year ago, per CBS News. According to a missing person flyer, the teen was last seen on April 5, 2024, leaving her home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Burke first gained recognition on TikTok before being signed to Darkroom and Interscope Records. The “Romantic Homicide” singer has 2 million followers on Instagram and 5.4 billion streams on Spotify.</span></p>
