D4vd is in police custody.
On April 16th, police arrested singer David Anthony Burke, known as “Here With Me,” for the murder of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Her body was discovered seven months prior in a Tesla registered to Burke.
He is being held without bail.
In September, a representative for D4vd stated he was working with law enforcement. TopMob News has contacted his representative regarding the recent arrest but has not received a response.
Police found the body of Rivas Hernandez in the front trunk of a Tesla after investigating a bad smell. The car had been reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hills and was being held at a tow yard in Hollywood.
On September 16th, authorities confirmed that remains found belonged to 13-year-old Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing since April 5, 2024. She was last seen in Lake Elsinore, a city about 70 miles from Los Angeles.
According to the Medical Examiner’s Office, the cause of death for Rivas Hernandez is still undetermined. Records reviewed by TopMob News on September 17th show her body was found on September 8th, but officials believe it had been in the car for a significant amount of time beforehand and was badly decomposed.
As many of you may have heard, D4vd made the difficult decision to cancel some dates on his North American tour following some very sad news. He was out supporting his first album, Withered, and understandably needed to prioritize things. It’s always tough when artists have to make these choices, but taking care of yourself is key, and I support him fully.
The singer behind “Feel It” started gaining popularity a few years ago when he began creating music for videos about Fortnite on YouTube. He then moved to TikTok, where songs like “Romantic Homicide” became hugely popular.

D4vd, whose full name is David Anthony Burke, was born in Queens, New York, and later moved to Houston, Texas, at the age of 13.
D4vd started his career by streaming games like Fortnite on YouTube, hoping to gain popularity. In 2021, he faced issues with copyrighted music in his videos, so he asked his mom for help.
He explained to Benny Blanco in an interview with Hero magazine (September 2024) that he felt desperate enough to complain to his mom. He told her he was struggling financially and didn’t know what to do. She simply told him to make his own music and left him alone. That’s when he realized he could actually try doing that.
D4vd, who had never seriously made music before beyond casual singing, began creating tracks using an app on his phone. His songs quickly gained popularity online, and as more of his music went viral on TikTok, his music career really started to flourish.
He finally released his first album, Withered, in April 2025, and quickly began his first tour around the world.
On September 8th, police were sent to a Hollywood tow yard after reports of a bad smell coming from a car, according to NBC News sources.
Los Angeles police discovered human remains inside a Tesla’s front trunk. The car was registered to David Anthony Burke, also known as the artist D4vd, and was linked to an address in Hempstead, Texas.
According to police, the car was towed to the impound lot because it had been left abandoned in the Hollywood Hills.
On September 16th, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the remains found in a Tesla belonged to Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing since April 5, 2024. She was 13 years old when she disappeared.
Records from the Medical Examiner’s Office, obtained by TopMob News on September 17th, show the cause of death is still being determined. While her body was found on September 8th, officials believe it had been in the car for a significant amount of time beforehand and was badly decomposed.
After learning about the death of Rivas Hernandez, a representative for D4vd told NBC News that the singer has been notified and is working with authorities while continuing his tour.
Since then, D4vd canceled the remainder of his U.S. dates.
On April 16, 2026, the Los Angeles Police Department announced the arrest of D4vd in connection with the murder of Rivas Hernandez.
