Prosecutors are presenting forensic evidence to persuade a judge that singer D4vd, legally known as David Burke, should face trial in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. On Tuesday, Los Angeles police described finding possible blood and DNA samples in Burke's garage and Tesla. Burke has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, sexual abuse, and mutilation. Prosecutors allege Burke killed Rivas Hernandez to protect his career. Financial witnesses testified that Burke earned at least $10 million between 2023 and 2025 from his music career. The hearing continues as the defense challenges the evidence.
