LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- D4vd has been arrested in connection with the murder of a teenager whose decomposing body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to the singer, police said Thursday.

D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, is being held without bail, officials said.

In September 2025, 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dead inside the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to the singer D4vd.

Even in California, that kind of thing can still get you a death penalty verdict.

Hey man C’mon, who doesn’t drive around with dead bodies in their trunk once in a while? It doesn’t mean they did anything wrong or nothin’.

I have been wondering why it took them so long to arrest him.
