In a shocking turn of events, US musician D4vd, legally known as David Anthony Burke, has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges concerning the tragic case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The teen girl, who disappeared in April 2025, was found dead in September, her remains discovered in a Tesla registered to Burke’s address in Texas. The allegations against the 21-year-old artist have sent ripples through the music community and beyond, raising serious questions about the circumstances surrounding this disturbing case.
The Accusations Unveiled
During his initial court appearance on Monday, D4vd’s legal team asserted that they believe the evidence will ultimately exonerate him. Despite the gravity of the charges against him, including murder for financial gain and the killing of a witness to an investigation, Burke remained silent throughout the proceedings. His lawyers, Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter, expressed their commitment to a vigorous defence, claiming, “the actual evidence will show that David did not kill Celeste.”
