US singer David Burke a.k.a D4vd has been arrested for an alleged murder of his teen girlfriend.
According to the Los Angeles police, D4vd is in custody on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose remains were found last year in the front trunk of a car registered to him.
“Detectives from Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery-Homicide Division have arrested David Burke, a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles, for the murder of Celeste Rivas,” Los Angeles police said in a statement on X.
