Rapper D4vd on Trial for Teen's Murder

0:00On April 21st, rapper David, real name David Anthony Burke, is facing a first-degree murder trial in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. Her remains turned up in September inside the front trunk of a Tesla linked to him. He's also charged with lewd acts on a child under 14 and mutilating a body, but he entered a not guilty plea on Monday. Earlier this week, officials moved him from the LAPD 77 Street Station jail to LA County Men's Central Jail. Now he's in isolation, likely due to his high profile as the romantic homicide artist. That means limited contact with others while the case plays out. Prosecutors, led by district attorney Nathan Hockman, claimed he killed her with a sharp instrument and dismembered the body after she threatened to. Exposed their relationship, Celeste's mom had mentioned knowing her daughter's boyfriend was named David. The stakes are huge, with a death penalty on the table and no bail keeping him walked up. The legal records dropped him last year, hitting his career hard.
