Celeste Rivas Family Speaks After D4vd Murder Charge

D4vd, born David Burke, is now facing first degree murder charges in connection with the death of 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a case that has shaken both the music industry and the public.

According to prosecutors, the teenage victim was found dead in September 2025 inside the trunk of a Tesla registered to the artist, with authorities later confirming the case as a homicide following a detailed investigation. 

Investigators say Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been reported missing in 2024, was discovered in a decomposed and dismembered condition, leading to what officials described as a “brutal” case that required months of evidence gathering before charges were filed. 

Medical reports later confirmed the teen died from multiple penetrating injuries, officially ruling her death a homicide.

Following the charges, the family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez released their first public statement, appearing alongside their attorney as they continue to push for justice in the case. 

The family has remained largely silent until now, with their statement marking a significant moment as the legal process begins to unfold.

Attorneys representing D4vd have denied the allegations, maintaining his innocence and stating that the evidence will ultimately prove he was not responsible for the teen’s death.

He is currently being held without bail as the case moves forward, with prosecutors preparing to present evidence in what is expected to be a closely watched trial.

The case continues to develop as more details are expected to emerge in court, with both sides preparing for what could become a high profile legal battle.
