Los Angeles police just arrested 21-year-old singer David, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old. Celeste Rivas, Hernandez. Her dismembered remains turned up back in September in the front trunk of his Tesla, which got towed from Hollywood Hills after sitting abandoned with a bad smell. He's locked up without bail right now and cops plan to hand the case to the District Attorney's Office on Monday. The investigation dragged off her months after the body was found decomposed and full of insects. They even ran a grand jury starting last November, hearing witnesses through February, but held off on charges until Thursday around 5 p.m. Cops had spotted the teen before she vanished from Lake Elsinore, returning her home once, but she bolted again. Friends of David thought Celeste was a legal age college student, like 19 or so, since she hit up age-restricted spots with him acting. A couple like. Nobody clocked her real age and it shocked everyone. Her family reported her missing, but police lost track after that last contact.

Medical examiners still can't pin down how she died because the body was too far gone, those sources say it might have been partially frozen. No other suspects on the radar, and while some wonder about helping the dismemberment, focus stays on him. His lawyers insist evidence clears him completely. No murder, no cause from his end. Others would decide on charges soon, so this story is far from over, keeping ear out as it unfolds. That's the story for today. California News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
