 D4vd Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, remains at the center of intense public interest and legal scrutiny following a series of shocking developments over the past month—with little truly new official information emerging in the past 24 hours, but significant ongoing fallout that will likely shape the trajectory of his career and personal history. The case of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose severely decomposed body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to d4vd on September 8, continues to dominate headlines, according to multiple outlets including NBC Los Angeles and The Associated Press. Authorities have not named d4vd as a suspect in Hernandez’s death, and while he is cooperating with police, his tour dates have vanished from venue websites and Ticketmaster—a European leg scheduled for this October was outright canceled, and what few remaining shows were left on his calendar, including a U.S. stop and a Grammy Museum appearance, have disappeared, leaving fans and industry watchers to wonder if he’ll ever return to the stage.

D4vd’s last social media post—an album promotion—dated September 8, the same day Hernandez’s body was discovered, remains his final public communication. Since then, he has kept an extremely low profile, his whereabouts and wellbeing the subject of intense speculation, especially after he transferred the ownership of his Texas homes to his mother just weeks after the body was found, according to ABC7. Despite speculation swirling online—particularly fueled by TikTok creators who have produced multiple videos mixing conjecture, gossip, and calls for “justice”—nothing has emerged to suggest he is involved in a crime beyond owning the car where Hernandez’s body was found. His manager has forcefully denied online allegations and urged followers to avoid spreading misinformation, telling Vice that claims about his involvement are “false and misinformed,” and he himself is a father and family man who lives out of state and has little day-to-day contact with d4vd’s affairs.

A private investigator, Steve Fisher, who provided surveillance footage to the LAPD, revealed to Court TV that d4vd’s Tesla was parked on Hollywood’s Bluebird Avenue on July 29, the day he and his entourage left on tour, and the car was later towed to the impound lot where police discovered Hernandez’s body. Fisher said that while there are images of Hernandez at the Hollywood home, she was not a regular presence, and the last known photo of her dates to early January 2025. He also told Power 105.1 that police are likely awaiting toxicology results, which could take months, and that d4vd hired legal counsel early on in the case.

The storm around d4vd has also spilled over to his family, who were the targets of a “swatting” incident at their Texas home in mid-September, recorded and reported by ABC7. Law enforcement found no evidence of a crime and chalked it up to a dangerous prank, but it’s a sign of how feverish the speculation has become.

As of now, everything is in limbo. There are no new dates for d4vd’s music, and his biggest business partners—Universal, Sony, Wasserman—have paused all promotional activity, according to BollywoodShaadis. No new statements from d4vd or his team have emerged, and authorities remain tight-lipped. For now, fans, the media, and true crime enthusiasts are left to piece together fragments of evidence, rumors, and cancellations—none of which yet add up to a clear picture of what actually happened, or what will happen next for the once-rising star.
