D4VD Named Murder Target: Family Fights Subpoenas as Grand Jury Closes In

D4VD is officially a murder target. Court documents unsealed this week confirm the Los Angeles County DA's office has designated the 20-year-old singer as the target of a grand jury investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez — the 14-year-old girl whose dismembered remains were found in the trunk of his Tesla.

The designation surfaced through an unlikely source: D4VD's own family. His father, mother, and brother were subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury in February. They fought it in Texas courts, claiming due process violations. They lost — and the sealed California filings became public in the process.

Those filings are damning. They describe a cadaver bag containing Celeste's decomposed head and torso, a second bag with her severed limbs, and allege D4VD "may be involved in having committed... One count of Murder."

The grand jury has been building this case since November. Manager Robert Morgenroth testified for three days and was grilled on why he didn't call police. His answer: he wanted to keep the tour going. Friend Neo Langston was arrested in Montana after fleeing a subpoena. A burn cage incinerator and chainsaw were found at D4VD's Hollywood Hills rental.

Celeste was last photographed alive on January 2, 2025. Police believe she died in spring 2025. Her body was discovered September 8th — the day after what would have been her 15th birthday. D4VD performed in Minneapolis the next night.

No arrest has been made. The cause of death remains sealed. But prosecutors are pushing for murder charges.

D4VD has not been charged with any crime. He is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
