David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, is charged with first-degree murder, sexual abuse, and dismemberment in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered body was found in his car. Burke, arraigned in April 2026, entered a not guilty plea on August 31, 2026, after his private attorneys withdrew and he was assigned a public defender following a financial evaluation. The Los Angeles County District Attorney is considering whether to seek the death penalty.
