Former streamer and singer D4vd has been officially charged with murder in a very shocking and disturbing case. The news came out on Monday when authorities confirmed that he is facing a capital murder charge. This case has been talked about for months, and finally he has been formally charged. Many people online are surprised and concerned after hearing this update.The case is about the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose body was found in September 2025. Her remains were discovered inside the front trunk of a Tesla at a tow yard in Hollywood. Police say she had been missing for months before that. The condition of her body made the investigation very slow and difficult.
D4vd faces serious charges as investigation reaches key moment
According to the District Attorney, D4vd is charged with capital murder, which is a very serious crime. He is also charged with abuse of a child and mutilation of human remains. Officials say the case includes special claims like “lying in wait,” meaning they believe he planned the act, and “killing a witness,” as the girl was part of another investigation.Authorities believe that Celeste went to D4vd’s house in April 2025 and was never seen again. They say he may have done this to protect his career, as his relationship with the underage girl could have caused problems for him. Because of these claims, he could face the death penalty, but that decision will be made later.
D4vd’s legal team denies his involvement in the murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez
D4vd’s lawyers had denied his involvement in Celeste’s death in a statement released last week, before he was officially charged. They said that the evidence will show that he did not murder her and was not the cause of her death. They also said he had only been detained under suspicion at that time and promised to fight to prove his innocence in court. Around the same time, his parents also said they fully believe he is innocent and are supporting him.Police also shared that the Tesla where the body was found had been parked for weeks before it was taken to the tow yard. There are also reports that D4vd traveled to another area earlier, but police are still checking if that is connected to the case.Officials say this was a very complex case because of the condition of the body and the time that had passed. The investigation took months, but now the case will move forward in court.
