Grand Jury Investigation Reveals New Details in D4vd Case
New Court Documents Shed Light on Grand Jury Investigation of Singer D4vd
New court documents obtained by KPRC 2 from Los Angeles County reveal details about the grand jury investigation of singer D4vd. Prosecutors are seeking to compel testimony from his father, Dawud Burke, who resides in Hempstead, Texas, as a witness in the case. The investigation involves allegations that D4vd may be connected to the death of a 14-year-old victim named Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The victim's dismembered body was found inside a black Tesla Model X, registered to David Burke, in September 2025.
Investigators discovered human remains in cadaver bags inside the Tesla's front storage compartment. The vehicle was registered to David Burke at an address in Hempstead, Texas. Prosecutors argue that Dawud Burke's testimony is crucial to the investigation, as he has a close relationship with his son, David Burke, who is a singer and performing artist. Dawud Burke has filed a writ of habeas corpus with the Texas Court of Appeals to avoid being called as a grand jury witness, and the case is currently pending.
The grand jury proceedings are confidential, and it is uncertain when a decision will be reached in the case. The investigation is ongoing, and prosecutors are working to gather all necessary evidence to determine the truth behind the tragic incident involving the young victim. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
