Born David Anthony Burke, D4vd is being held without bail, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).

The 21-year-old is the target of a grand jury investigation into the apparent murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were found in his Tesla in September 2025.

Detectives were called to a Hollywood tow yard after reports of a foul smell coming from the impounded vehicle, which had been towed from the Hollywood Hills after appearing abandoned.

Rivas Hernandez had been reported missing in 2024 and was last seen in Lake Elsinore, about 60 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles county medical examiner’s office determined that she had been dead in the vehicle for an “extended period of time” before discovery.

Police said the case involving the singer will be presented to the district attorney’s office on Monday.

In a statement, the Los Angeles county district attorney’s office said the matter would be reviewed by its major crimes division, adding that prosecutors would assess whether there is sufficient evidence to file charges.

“Prosecutors will review the facts and evidence to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to file charges,” the statement reads.

However, Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter, the lawyers of D4vd, insisted that evidence would exonerate him, maintaining that he was not responsible for the death of Rivas Hernandez.

They said no formal charges or indictment have been filed, saying he is being held only on suspicion and that they will “vigorously defend” his innocence.

“Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death,” the lawyers said.

“There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

The investigation into D4vd was officially kept secret, but it became known in February when his mother, father, and brother filed a court objection in Texas against subpoenas requiring them to testify.
