Singer D4vd accused of stabbing 14-year-old girl to death to silence her
Singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, is accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez by stabbing her multiple times and dismembering her body to prevent her from exposing their alleged sexual relationship. Prosecutors allege the abuse began when she was 13 and he was 18, and that he killed her after she threatened to reveal the abuse and end his music career. Burke has pleaded not guilty, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled to determine if there is enough evidence for a trial.
