David Anthony Burke, also known as D4vd, is currently in an ongoing investigation about the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Celeste’s body was found in the trunk of a Tesla at the Hollywood Tow.
An abandoned Tesla had been left in the lot of Hollywood Hills for 5 days, got towed and taken to Hollywood Tow. It was a black Tesla with a Texas license plate. The Los Angeles Police Department said the vehicle and licence plates all lead back to the R&B singer, D4vd.
On September 8th, 2025, police in Los Angeles were called to check a car in the impound lot from an abandoned Tesla because of foul odor. Inside was the heavily decomposed body of Celeste Hernandez, who had been reported missing since April 2024. Private investigators say that she has been deceased a lot longer than people have anticipated. They say she may have been killed between January and February of 2025.
The LAPD went to investigate the $4 million mansion that D4vd was staying at to find any evidence they could use against D4vd in the investigation. He moved out of the house around late September.
There is evidence that D4vd and Celeste had a connection with each other with both of them having matching tattoos, and an alleged romantic relationship with Celeste telling her mom that she has a boyfriend named David. There are photos that emerged on social media of the two together.
The case is still ongoing and as of October 2025, no arrests have been made and D4vd has not been named a suspect by the LAPD.
