In a chilling courtroom drama, prosecutors reveal a disturbing timeline of the final hours of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who was allegedly stabbed to death by teen singer D4vd (David Burke) after arriving at his Hollywood home on April 23, 2025. Text messages, bloodstains matching her DNA in his garage, and her body found months later in his registered vehicle paint a grim picture — while the defense argues no evidence proves his presence or guilt. Burke, 21, denies all charges, pointing to missing witnesses and footage, and highlighting that Rivas had repeatedly asked to meet him. Prosecutors allege he tried to cover his tracks by asking for her location after her death, and that their relationship — which included her becoming pregnant at 13 and having an abortion — was documented in years of graphic texts and photos. With closing arguments looming, the judge must decide if D4vd, a rising TikTok and Spotify star who performed at Coachella, will face trial for murder, sexual abuse, and mutilation.
