D4vd 'Target' in Dismembered Teen's Death Investigation

Why this matters: The investigation could have significant legal and career repercussions for D4vd, depending on the grand jury's findings.

The investigation began after authorities discovered Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains in the front trunk of an abandoned Tesla Model X. The vehicle was registered to David Burke, known professionally as D4vd.

Court documents detail the grim discovery: officers described Hernandez's body as 'severely decomposed,' with a strong odor attracting flies. Inside a black cadaver bag, they found a 'decomposed head and torso.' A second bag contained the victim's arms and legs.

The court documents are part of a legal battle as d4vd’s family fought subpoenas, served to them in their home state of Texas, ordering them to appear before the Grand Jury meeting in Los Angeles. Dawud and Colleen Burke, d4vd’s mother and father, as well as his brother Caleb, were ordered to travel to California earlier this month.

Prosecutors sought to compel testimony from D4vd's father, Dawud Burke, highlighting the importance of his potential insights. The defense argued that the documentation they were given was insufficient because it didn’t explain how their testimony would be “material and necessary” to the investigation. A Texas judge refused to quash the subpoenas.

One of d4vd’s friends, streamer Neo Langston, was arrested last month after he failed to appear before the Grand Jury as a witness.

The vehicle in which the body was found was registered to him, and court documents identify him as a 'target' of the investigation.

No, no charges have been filed in Rivas Hernandez's death.
