David Burke, a 21-year-old pop singer known as D4vd, was arrested in Los Angeles in connection with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. Her decomposed and dismembered body was discovered in Burke's abandoned Tesla, leading to a complex investigation that began when authorities noticed a foul odor emanating from the vehicle. Captain Scot Williams from the Robbery-Homicide Division stated that the condition of the body complicated the investigation, as they had to determine when Rivas died before moving forward. The Tesla was registered to Burke, and investigators connected him to the case through witness interviews and physical evidence. A burn cage capable of incinerating materials at high temperatures was found at a property Burke rented, raising further suspicions. Despite pressure to act quickly, detectives focused on building a solid case. Burke was arrested without incident and is currently held without bail, awaiting formal charges from the District Attorney's office. His attorneys have denied the allegations, asserting that Burke did not murder Rivas and that he is being held under suspicion only. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather evidence.
