D4vd Arrested for Teen's Murder

0:00It's April 17th. Tampa Bay News today starts now, AI-powered and ready. I'm Corey, with the story. Rapper and singer David, real name David Burke, just got arrested for the murder of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The 21-year-old is locked up without bail after LAPD dropped the news on social media this Thursday, April 16th. Cops say they'll push the case to the District Attorney's Office, come Monday for charges. Back in September of 2025, her body turned up in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla right here in Los Angeles and turns out that car was. Registered in David's name, the two had been dating before she vanished. First reported missing from Lake Elsinore all the way back in April of 2024. Friends of the singer had no clue about her real age, figuring she was a 19-year-old USC student since she popped up at age-restricted spots. That sparked a ton of online buzz when matching. Oh, tattoos on the right index finger surfaced, fueling talk he might be connected.

1:03Investigators held off on details till now, but the link to his car sealed the arrest. No word yet on a motive, though the relationship angle is front and center. This story is still unfolding fast, so keep an ear out as more drops. We'll circle back when the DA weighs in next week.
