Singer D4vd, known for his hit “Romantic Homicide,” has retained the services of prominent criminal defense attorney Blair Berk as authorities investigate the shocking discovery of a dismembered body in his abandoned Tesla. The remains belong to 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in the trunk of the vehicle on September 8, following its arrival at a tow lot in Hollywood.
Although D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has come under scrutiny since the grisly find, he has not been formally named a suspect in the investigation. Berk, who has represented several high-profile clients, including Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson, is known for her skilled defense strategies, a valuable asset during such troubling times.
The circumstances surrounding the case are alarming: the police report that Celeste had been dead for several weeks, making her just 14 at the time of her death. Authorities are working to determine the timeline of her death and how long her remains were in the vehicle. This macabre discovery occurred after the Tesla received a parking ticket nearly two weeks prior to the body’s recovery.
D4vd has not publicly commented on the investigation, aside from statements from his team indicating full cooperation with investigators. With over 2 million followers on Instagram, the young artist’s situation has captured significant media attention, further intensifying public interest in the case.
As details continue to unfold, the investigation aims to clarify the tragic events that led to this heartbreaking incident, and the community hopes for swift justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
