About
D4vd Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
The past few days have brought significant developments in the ongoing investigation surrounding singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. Most recently, as of November 18th, 2025, sources with knowledge of the investigation confirmed to ABC News that the 20-year-old R&B artist is now considered a suspect in the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose decomposed body was discovered in the trunk of his Tesla on September 8th in Hollywood. This marks an important shift in the investigation's trajectory, though notably, no arrests have been made and D4vd has not been formally charged with any crimes.
The body was found inside a bag in the front trunk after the vehicle had been abandoned on a Hollywood street for several weeks while D4vd was touring. A tow yard worker noticed a foul odor and alerted police. According to law enforcement sources, the body was dismembered and believed to have been dead for several weeks before discovery. Critically, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has still not determined the official cause and manner of death, which authorities say is essential for moving forward with potential arrests and charges.
Recent reports indicate that a Los Angeles County grand jury is currently hearing evidence related to the case as of late November. According to the Los Angeles Times, detectives have spent months investigating the circumstances surrounding Rivas's death and her relationship with D4vd. The investigation has also uncovered that Rivas first met D4vd through social media when she was only 12 years old, though she appeared significantly older to those around them. Friends of the singer reportedly believed she was a university student around 19 years old.
Additionally, KTLA News reported that investigators have discovered new information about a trip D4vd took to Santa Barbara County in the spring, though authorities have drawn no conclusions about its relevance to the case. D4vd, who rose to fame through TikTok with nearly 4 million followers and has over 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify, remains represented by high-profile criminal defense attorney Blair Beck. The remainder of his "Withered" world tour was canceled in mid-September following the discovery.
