D4VD Murder Target: Unsealed Documents Expose Grand Jury Case

This is the update that changes everything in the D4VD case.

Court documents unsealed this week officially designate David Anthony Burke — the 20-year-old singer known as D4VD — as the target of a Los Angeles County grand jury investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The filings state he "may be involved" in one count of murder.

The documents were sealed in California. They became public through Texas court proceedings after D4VD's parents and brother fought subpoenas to testify before the grand jury. Their legal challenge failed — and exposed what prosecutors have been building since November.

The grand jury filings describe what was found in D4VD's Tesla on September 8, 2025: a cadaver bag containing Celeste's decomposed head and torso, a second bag containing her severed limbs, flies, and an overwhelming odor of decay. The car had been parked on Bluebird Avenue in the Hollywood Hills since July 29th. D4VD performed in Minneapolis the day after the discovery.

Witnesses have included D4VD's manager Robert Morgenroth, who testified for three days and was questioned about why he didn't contact police. Friend Neo Langston was arrested in Montana after ignoring a subpoena. A burn cage incinerator and chainsaw were found at D4VD's rental property — items a private investigator said "you would expect to find on a farm rather than in a home in the Hollywood Hills."

Celeste Rivas Hernandez was 14 years old. She was last photographed alive on January 2, 2025. Police believe she died in spring 2025. Her family says she went to see a movie with D4VD in April 2024 and never came home.

D4VD has not been arrested or charged with any crime. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
