#Roommates, disturbing details have emerged in the case involving singer #D4vd, and the murder of #CelesteRivasHernandez. According to @apnews, prosecutors say a criminal complaint alleges the singer, born David Burke, engaged in continuous sexual abuse of the 14-year-old from September 2023 through September 2024.

Prosecutors allege he killed Celeste with a sharp object on or around April 23, 2025, the date she was last known to be alive, and was headed to the singer’s house in the Hollywood Hills. Two weeks later, her body was mutilated. The murder charges included special circumstances, including lying in wait, committing a crime for financial gain, and murdering a witness in an investigation, which could carry the death penalty. _________________________
In addition, Burke is also charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a person under 14 and mutilating a body. His attorneys said he was innocent in a statement released after homicide detectives arrested him on Thursday at a home in Hollywood. “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. _________________________
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman also spoke out during a press conference on Monday, calling the case “a parent’s nightmare.” “Celeste, a 14-year-old at that time, went to Mr. Burke’s house in the Hollywood Hills. She was never heard from again.”✍🏾#TSRStaffAS SWIPE 📷:(@gettyimages)
