D4vd's Prelim Hearing Delayed, Evidence Mounts

0:00On April 29th, rapper David, real name David Anthony Burke, face the judge this week as his team pushed to delay his preliminary hearing from Friday to May 26th. The 21-year-old platinum-seller stands charged with first-degree murder, sexual abuse of a child, and mutilating human remains after. 14-year-olds Celeste Rivas' dismembered body turned up in the front trunk of his Tesla last September. Prosecutors dropped a major evidence brief right after the hearing, saying surveillance video proves Burke was the last one driving that car. They claim he started a sexual relationship with Rivas when she was just 13, even after cops warned him about her age the year before. The filing details how he kept pursuing her, paying $1,000 to a classmate for a phone so they could text. Those messages mentioned sex, pregnancy, abortions, and include explicit photos leading to a big fight the night before she vanished. And our topsy last week confirmed, Rivas died from multiple stab wounds to her abdomen and chest, ruled a homicide with drugs in her system.

Burke's lawyers want this moving fast, but with all this mounting evidence from wiretaps and searches, the case is just heating up as it heads to that. Late May date.
