David Anthony Burke, a 21-year-old musician performing under the stage name D4vd, is accused of murdering and sexually abusing 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were discovered in the trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke in Hollywood in September 12. At a preliminary hearing this week, prosecutors presented graphic crime scene photographs to the victim's parents, alleging that Burke dismembered the body using a chainsaw to conceal the killing 1.
Burke faces charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and willful destruction of human remains 2. Prosecutors allege that Burke killed Celeste after she threatened to expose their illegal relationship 12. According to investigators, Burke purchased body bags, a chainsaw, an inflatable pool, and a shovel online following the victim's death, with most items later recovered from his garage 2.
The prosecution contends Burke had financial motivation for the crime. Prosecutors revealed that the musician earned at least $10 million from music between 2023 and 2025 and holds a multi-million-dollar recording contract with Interscope Records 23. His breakthrough 2022 single "Romantic Homicide" has garnered over 1 billion streams on music platforms, and he performed at Coachella last year and opened for SZA's tour 2.
Investigators testified that Burke arranged to pick up the victim from Lake Elsinore, approximately 80 miles from Los Angeles, on April 23, 2025 2. The vehicle containing Celeste's remains was not discovered until September, about four and a half months after it was towed away 2.
Celeste's mother, Mercedes, chose to remain in court during the presentation of evidence to show support for her daughter 1. Burke denies all charges 1. The preliminary hearing, which determines whether sufficient probable cause exists to proceed to trial, is expected to last several days 1.
