Here’s what we know:

Singer-songwriter and TikTok star D4vd has been arrested in connection with the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Celeste was last seen alive in April 2024 in Lake Elsinore, California. Her disappearance remained unsolved for more than a year.

In September 2025, her decomposed remains were discovered in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to D4vd. The vehicle had been impounded in the Hollywood Hills after workers reported a strong odor coming from it.

Authorities say Celeste’s remains were found in two cadaver bags in the front trunk of the vehicle. Forensic analysis later confirmed her identity, with investigators believing her death likely occurred in spring 2024.

At the time of the discovery, D4vd was on a world tour, with a scheduled performance in Kansas City the following day.

Prior to his arrest, he had not been publicly named as a suspect in the case. Law enforcement sources now indicate that more than one person may have been involved in Celeste’s death.

According to AP NEWS, his defense attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter responded: “Let us be clear, the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”

D4vd, born in Queens, New York, rose to fame on TikTok and released his debut album, “Withered,” in April 2025.
