D4vd murder case: A timeline of the investigation into 14-year-old girl’s death
A horrifying discovery in a Hollywood impound lot set off a lengthy investigation that ultimately led to murder and sex abuse charges against a 21-year-old singer known as D4vd. The case revolves around the decomposing, dismembered remains of a 14-year-old girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found in an abandoned Tesla linked to the singer.
The tragic events unfolded over several years, with D4vd allegedly starting to sexually abuse Rivas Hernandez when she was just 13 years old. The abuse continued until her disappearance in April 2024. Prosecutors claim that D4vd intentionally killed the young girl to prevent her from exposing their illicit relationship and potentially damaging his music career.
After months of investigation, D4vd was arrested and charged with murder, continuous sexual abuse, and unlawfully mutilating a body. The charges allege that he engaged in inappropriate sexual acts with Rivas Hernandez while she was underage and then killed her to protect his reputation and financial interests.
Despite maintaining his innocence, D4vd was held without bail as the case unfolded. His record label dropped him, and his “Withered” tour was canceled as the shocking details of the case emerged. The victim’s family released a statement expressing their love for Celeste and their desire for justice.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s report confirmed that Rivas Hernandez died from multiple penetrating injuries and ruled her death a homicide. The report detailed the extent of her injuries and the postmortem changes to her body, painting a grim picture of the tragic events that unfolded.
The case continues to unfold in the legal system, with D4vd facing serious charges that could have far-reaching consequences for his career and reputation. The investigation into the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has captivated the public and shed light on the dark realities of abuse and violence.
