David Burke, a musician known by his stage name D4vd, has been charged with first-degree murder following the discovery of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez's dismembered remains in his vehicle. The Los Angeles police announced these charges on Monday.
D4vd is facing multiple charges, including murder with special circumstances, for Celeste's shocking killing. The circumstances include lying in wait and financial gain, as well as a separate charge of murdering a witness in an investigation. He could face a life sentence without parole, and prosecutors have not ruled out seeking the death penalty, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.
Authorities revealed that D4vd was in a sexual relationship with Celeste when she was a minor. Additional charges of continuous sexual acts with a minor and mutilating human remains were filed. The grim discovery came after an impound lot worker noticed a foul odor from the Tesla, which had been parked in a Hollywood Hills neighborhood for weeks.
