The tragic case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, recently found in the trunk of a Tesla owned by singer D4vd, has revealed shocking details about her death. The Los Angeles County medical examiner reported that her death was caused by multiple penetrating injuries, classifying it as a homicide. Celeste was discovered in September, just months after being reported missing in April.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, faces several charges including murder, though he has pleaded not guilty. His defense team asserts their belief that evidence will vindicate him and contest the prosecution's claims.
According to the medical examiner's findings, stab wounds to Celeste's abdomen and chest were confirmed during the autopsy, alongside the discovery of shredded blue plastic in her wounds. Despite a toxicology report finding traces of methamphetamine and MDMA in her system, officials stated that these substances played no role in her death.
The timeline of the investigation indicated that prosecutors believe Celeste was killed and possibly dismembered in May 2025, several months before her body was found. The details surrounding her death have left her family devastated. In their first public statement, they described their daughter as a beautiful girl who loved to sing and dance, longing for justice in her memory.
As the legal proceedings continue, District Attorney Nathan Hochman expressed the gravity of this case, wanting to ensure that justice is served for Celeste Rivas and her grieving family.
