21岁歌手D4vd（本名David Burke）因涉嫌杀害并肢解14岁少女Celeste Rivas Hernandez而被控进行审判[1]。洛杉矶法官Charlaine Olmedo在五天的初审听证会后认定存在充分可能性支持谋杀罪、对儿童的持续性虐待罪和非法肢解人体罪的指控[1]。Burke目前被无保释金关押，并已表示无罪抗辩[1]。
检察官Beth Silverman在法庭上表示，"基于呈现的大量证据，所有指控都得到了远超所需标准的证明"[1]，法官随后宣布，"控方已完成对所有罪名的举证责任"[1]。受害人Celeste Rivas Hernandez于2025年4月23日失踪，其遗体约五个月后被发现[1]。根据记录，她在失踪当日上午10点后发送了最后一条短信，内容为"girly pop i'm almost there open ur door if ur home"[1]。
Twenty-one-year-old singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, has been ordered to stand trial on charges of murder, continuous abuse of a minor, and illegal dismemberment of a human body in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.[1] Los Angeles Judge Charlaine Olmedo made the determination following a five-day preliminary hearing, finding sufficient evidence to support all allegations.[1] Burke remains in custody without bail and has pleaded not guilty.[1]
Prosecutors presented what they characterized as substantial evidence during the hearing. Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman stated: "Based on the mountains of evidence presented, all of the allegations have been proved way beyond the standard required."[1] Judge Olmedo concurred in her ruling, stating: "The people have met their burden on all counts."[1] Rivas Hernandez died on April 23, 2025, and her remains were discovered approximately five months later.[1] The victim's last known message, sent after 10 a.m. on the morning of her death, read: "girly pop i'm almost there open ur door if ur home."[1]
