D4vd to stand trial in murder of 14-year-old: Judge
Singer D4vd, born David Burke, will stand trial for the murder and dismemberment of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Los Angeles Judge Charlaine Olmedo found probable cause for charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child, and unlawful mutilation of human remains.
Prosecutors presented evidence including text messages showing Rivas Hernandez threatened to expose their relationship and end Burke's career.
Burke pleaded not guilty and was ordered to be held without bail; his defense argued insufficient evidence for deliberate intent to kill.
The victim was found dismembered in trash bags at a storage facility rented by Burke, with DNA evidence and a surveillance van linked to the scene.
