D4vd taken into custody over death of Celeste Rivas

D4vd, real name David Burke, has been taken into custody in Los Angeles in the case involving the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas.

As per reports, the singer was booked into custody on Thursday, April 16, and is currently detained without bail. The case will be reviewed for potential charges.

The department in a post on X (formerly Twitter) said, “LAPD NEWS: ‘Detectives from Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery-Homicide Division have arrested David Burke, a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles, for the murder of Celeste Rivas. Burke is being held without bail.’”

“The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s office on Monday for filing consideration,” the department added.

The arrest follows months of investigation after a decomposed body was discovered in September inside an abandoned Tesla registered to the Romantic Homicide singer.

The vehicle had reportedly been left at a Los Angeles tow yard after being found abandoned on a street.

Police came after staff smelled a strong odor from the vehicle. Medical examiners later said, according to NBC News, that the body had been there for a long time.

However, Rivas disappeared from her California home in April 2024 and was later identified as the victim.
