D4vd's Security Guard Is Accused of WHAT?!

D4vd Celeste Rivas Hernandez wrongful death case — the family's civil complaint focuses new attention on the people who allegedly helped create access, transportation, housing, and financial support around David Anthony Burke. Twelve causes of action now sit beside the criminal case, with Burke's mother, management figures, security guard, and business entities among the named defendants. 

Sheldon Jacques is one of the most important names in the complaint. Celeste's parents allege the live-in security guard helped remove her from her family home and transport her to Burke's Hollywood Hills residence. The lawsuit further alleges that people around Burke knew or should have known Celeste was a minor and failed to take reasonable steps to protect her. 

The family's civil theory also follows the money. Colleen Burke is accused of handling parts of her son's finances and approving expenses tied to his business operations. At the criminal preliminary hearing, a former financial manager testified that Burke generated roughly $10 million to $11.5 million in gross earnings between 2023 and 2025. Property records later showed two Texas properties transferred into his mother's name after Celeste's remains were discovered. 

Burke has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges. A judge ordered him to stand trial after a July preliminary hearing, and he remains jailed without bail. His private attorneys withdrew in August and he is now represented by a public defender. The next scheduled status conference is October 19, 2026. 

Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to explain why the civil suit matters before any damages are decided. Discovery can force document production and sworn testimony, and the complaint's allegations put the conduct of Burke's surrounding adults under a level of scrutiny that the criminal case may not require to resolve Burke's guilt or innocence.
