Rapper D4vd Arrested in Teen's Murder

0:00On April 17th, rapper David, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, got arrested this week on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, Hernandez. Her badly decomposed remains turned up in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him back in September. Police in Los Angeles are treating it as a homicide case now. She first went missing at age 13 in April, 2024, and that Tesla ended up in an impound lot after cops tracked it down. A grand jury started digging into it last February, but they held off calling a murder right away while waiting on the medical examiner. His defense team came out strong, saying the real evidence clears him of killing her or causing her death. No indictment or charges filed yet, just suspicion for now. This blew up his career though. He scrapped his US tour dates and put the Lux album plans on ice, even canceling Europe and UK shows. After reports showed, he was cooperating at first, but got less helpful by late last year.

1:00Neighbors spotted that Tesla parked in Hollywood Hills for over a month before the body was found, and he even got a parking ticket there two weeks. Prior, cops are probing if her body was frozen, then moved into the car. LAPD plans to hand the case to the District Attorney's Office come Monday for review on possible charges. Eyes stay glued as this unfolds. This has been Music News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with The Story.
