D4vd Trial: Music, Murder, and Motive | Charleston News
Description
D4vd, the indie-pop star behind the stage name, faces a chilling trial for allegedly murdering his 13-year-old lover, Celeste, to protect his skyrocketing career. Prosecutors reveal a disturbing timeline: a predatory relationship began when she was 11, escalated as she turned 13, and ended with his alleged murder after she threatened to expose them. Evidence includes online purchases of a body bag, chainsaw, and shovel — all found in his Hollywood garage alongside a bloodstain matching her DNA. His $11 million in music earnings between 2023-2025 is being cited as motive. During testimony, his financial manager admitted knowing only her first name, sparking courtroom tension when prosecutors tried to confirm their relationship. The preliminary hearing continues as the judge weighs whether to proceed to trial.
