Los Angeles, CA – September 22, 2025 – In a bombshell development that has left the music world reeling and fans in utter disbelief, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) dropped a jaw-dropping statement today, confirming they’ve unearthed a “crucial piece of evidence” during a high-stakes raid on singer D4vd’s (real name: David Anthony Burke) rented Hollywood Hills pad. The 20-year-old R&B sensation, whose TikTok-fueled hits like “Romantic Homicide” once defined Gen Z heartbreak, now faces the unraveling of his empire as the probe into 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s gruesome death intensifies. Sources whisper of blood traces, digital footprints, and a leaked demo track name-dropping the victim—evidence so damning it could spell the end for D4vd’s career and freedom. As #JusticeForCeleste explodes across X, the shocking truth bubbling up from the LAPD’s latest revelations paints a picture of obsession, betrayal, and a cover-up that chills to the bone.

The Raid That Cracked the Case Wide Open

It started with a stench on September 8, 2025, when tow yard workers in Hollywood gagged on the putrid odor wafting from a black 2023 Tesla Model 3—impounded five days prior after being ditched near D4vd’s upscale Doheny Place rental. Inside the front trunk, stuffed in a plastic bag, were the mutilated, decomposed remains of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a bright-eyed teen from Lake Elsinore, California, who’d vanished on April 5, 2024, at just 13 years old. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office (LACME) pegged her time of death as “extended”—weeks, if not months—before discovery, with dismemberment signs screaming foul play. Cause? Still “deferred,” but LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division is treating it as homicide, no question.

Fast-forward to September 17: LAPD SWAT-style storms D4vd’s Hollywood Hills crash pad, hauling out computers, “bags of evidence,” and—per explosive reports—samples for blood residue testing. Today’s LAPD bombshell? “Several leads and new evidence have become available,” spokesperson Officer Michelle Sanchez told reporters in a terse presser, her voice laced with gravity. “This includes forensic items recovered from the search warrant execution that directly tie to the victim’s final days. We urge the public to avoid speculation as the investigation progresses.” Insiders leak to TMZ and People that the “crucial piece”? A hard drive brimming with deleted files—photos, DMs, and timestamps placing Celeste at the property mere weeks before her disappearance. Blood evidence? Preliminary swabs from the home’s bathroom and garage tested positive for human DNA, awaiting matches to Celeste’s profile.

D4vd, touring North America for his debut album Withered (ironically themed around loss), was stateside but claims zero knowledge. His rep? “Fully cooperating from afar.” But actions speak louder: The U.S. tour’s tail end—Seattle (Sept. 17), San Francisco (19), LA (20)—got axed overnight. Now, per a fresh TMZ drop echoed on X, the entire European/UK leg (kicking off Oslo on Oct. 1, through Glasgow) is scrapped, with Ticketmaster yanking listings and issuing refunds. Album deluxe Withered? Shelved indefinitely. Crocs and Hollister? Contracts torched, with a joint statement: “We’ve removed all D4vd content amid the ongoing probe.”

The Shocking Ties: Tattoos, Tracks, and a Trail of Secrets

What makes this “all over” for D4vd? The evidence mosaic is a predator’s playbook. Celeste’s thumb tattoo—”Shhh…”—mirrors one on D4vd’s finger, no coincidence in a sea of ink. Leaked pics surface: The duo cozy in 2023, her in a blue wig he sported later, him gifting a custom Roblox chain etched “C.” A bombshell demo, “Celeste_Demo unfin,” leaked on SoundCloud in December 2023, croons: “Oh, Celeste / Afraid you’ll only love me when undressed / But you look so damn gorgeous in that dress / Missing you so much makes me depressed.” Eerily prescient? His “Locked and Loaded” video for Fortnite features a trunked body—now deleted from YouTube.

Family whispers to Al Jazeera and E! paint grooming: Celeste, a TikTok fan, DM’d D4vd at 13; meetups followed. She bolted home once, tearful, but vanished again after a “mysterious call” begging her mom to drop missing posters. Her bro flagged “concerns” pre-disappearance; Riverside cops? Crickets. Post-raid, the GoFundMe for her burial surges past $50K, with her sister posting on X: “She trusted the wrong star. Now we demand answers.”

X is a inferno: #D4vdDown trends with 2M posts, users raging, “Blood on the mic—cancel him for life!” One viral thread: “Raided home, blood swabs, Celeste demo? It’s over.” Streams? Withered ironically climbs charts, but boycotts brew.

The Fallout: From Idol to Infamy

LAPD’s statement hints at charges looming—murder, evidence tampering, child exploitation. D4vd’s silence? Deafening. Holed up in Houston, lights dim at his pad, per TikTok sleuths. Celeste’s fam breaks: “Our baby was light—stolen by darkness. Justice now.”

“It’s all over,” LAPD’s Sanchez implied, eyes steely. For D4vd’s fairy tale? Done. For Celeste—a wavy-haired dreamer with a yellow earring and endless potential? The fight for truth endures. Parents, heed: Fame’s glow hides shadows. #JusticeForCeleste.
