Rapper D4vd has been arrested on charges of murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas.
The star was arrested Thursday by the LAPD’s robbery-homicide division and is being held without bail, police said.
The singer was arrested at a home he had been staying at in the Hollywood Hills.
“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. Burke is being held without bail. The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s office on Monday for filing consideration,” an LAPD release said.
Rivas’ dismembered body was discovered in the back of a Tesla belonging to D4vd back in September after employees in a tow yard could smell a foul odor coming from the vehicle. Rivas had previously been reported missing by her family in April.
Shortly after the body was discovered, D4vd canceled his remaining tour dates and went silent as online speculation continued to grow around D4vd’s possible relationship with Rivas — including photos that surfaced of the two together before her disappearance.
