David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, entered a not guilty plea on Monday to charges of killing, sexually abusing, and dismembering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. His private attorneys withdrew after a financial evaluation found him eligible for a court-appointed defender, and the judge denied a request to delay arraignment. The case involves reported earnings of at least $10 million from music between 2023 and 2025.
