Singer Charged with Murder, Child Abuse

About this episode

Singer D4vd faces first-degree murder charges in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 14-year-old girl he allegedly stabbed at his Hollywood Hills home in April 2025. Evidence suggests a cold-blooded plan, with purchases made to hide the crime, including a shovel, chainsaws, a body bag, heavy-duty trash bags, and a blue inflatable pool. Their relationship began in 2022, with sexual abuse starting in November 2023. Her body was found in September 2025, stuffed in bags inside his Tesla trunk. D4vd is in custody, pleading not guilty, but the case is closely watched due to the mountain of evidence against him.

0:00On April 30, prosecutors have hit singer David with first-degree murder charges in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. They claim he stabbed her at his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025, after summoning her via Uber. The evidence points to cold-blooded planning, with purchases made right after to hide the crime. The day after he ordered a shovel through delivery. A week later, chain saws, a body bag, heavy-duty trash bags, and a blue inflatable pool all shipped to his address under a fake name. Medical reports found matching blue plastic in her remains, suggesting he used the pool to catch blood before dismembering her in the garage. Their connection started back in 2022 when she was just 11. By November 2023, at age 13, prosecutors say sexual abuse kicked in, with trips to Las Vegas, London, and Texas. Her family remembers her as a vibrant girl who loves singing, dancing, and family movie

He got arrested on April 16, 2026, with massive amounts of child exploitation material on hand. David's locked up without bail, pleading not guilty while his team insists he's innocent. But this mountain of evidence has everyone watching closely as the case unfolds.
