“Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said D4vd repeatedly sexually abused Hernandez and mutilated her body. She was last seen at the singer's home in April 2025, according to Hochman, then was "not heard from again." Hochman also said the killing was committed for financial gain, so that Burke could "maintain his very lucrative musical career."
Hochman also accused the singer of killing a witness because there was an active investigation into Burke's sexual abuse of Hernandez at the time of her death.”

Finally.
May Celeste rest in peace. She was failed by too many.

May Celeste get justice and may no other child, woman, vulnerable person ever cross his path again.
> Prosecutors will file murder with special circumstances charges later on Monday, alleging Burke killed Hernandez for financial gain and because she was a witness to a crime — her own sexual abuse at the singer’s hands. If convicted as charged, Burke would face life in prison without the possibility or parole, or the death penalty.
Life without parole.
He’s charged with first degree murder, which means he could possibly face the death penalty if found guilty. But it’s California, so unlikely to actually face execution. He would probably get life without parole.
If you are wondering “wHy dId iT tAkE sO LoNg?”, the LAPD chief and the LA district attorney specifically addresses this in the top video here: [https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c3v60439wlwt](https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c3v60439wlwt)
So crazy to me that people kill people just like that?!!
Something about the way this is phrased makes me wonder if she was pregnant 😓
How’s him maintaining his very lucrative musical career going for him?
This talent-resistant POS is going away forever. He will not see freedom. Ever. Guaranteed. The judges already won’t like his look, his music, his everything. He is 100% done. If Newsom decides to open up the DP, he’ll get that. Let’s hope.

That poor kid. She was 10 when he started grooming her.
Seems like this dude was trying to speed run through all of the most heinous crimes a human can commit
Celeste is getting justice thank god!
Reading about this case made me feel so sick. What a disgusting POS.
I am so relieved with these charges. May Celeste rest in peace knowing that the truth will come out
Poor baby. She deserved better. I hope she gets justice
I cant even imagin what her family and her loved ones are going thru. I hope he will rest in jail forever
May he rot in hell. That poor little girl didn’t deserve any of that.
May he rot in prison for eternity
This is beyond fucked up man
14!
Good. He’s a pedo and deserves everything that happens to him. He was grooming her and other young girls for years and I hope he rots.
Damn. I remember when this story first came out, and it seemed like maybe a friend had used his car and D4vd was actually innocent. Then more and more just kept piling up against him until it was practically undeniable. Now it’s confirmed. The police took their time, meaning they probably used that time to collect a bunch of evidence against him and make sure he doesn’t get away. Good. Fuck this guy, hope he gets life without parole
Accused of murdering a witness as well? Holy shit he’s going under the prison.
There it is.
I hope Celeste is resting in peace.. She was failed by so many people in so many ways.
I hope this piece of shit either gets what he did to happen to him or experiences prison holding someone’s pocket. Such a disgusting human.
Why are we still using his stage name
He should be deplatformed and demonetized or if any money is made from his music it should go to Celeste’s family or some type of trust/foundation
‘Laying in wait’ turns my stomach. Dude was a psychopath and it paid his trip right to the top of the charts. RIP Celeste.
Everyone failed this poor girl
14 years old 💔
Is his name like a license plate? I see Down 4 VD. Is that how he pronounces it?
Thank god. All the evidence pointed towards guilt here. Horrible situation but I hope justice comes through on this. Celeste deserved so much better
Good. Put him under the jail.
Rest in peace Celeste.
Lock his ass up. Rest in peace Celeste, you deserved so much better
Finally. May she rest in peace.
Would love to hear his excuses. How’d some underage girl end up dead in a car he owns. guess he got”set up” and she just locked her self in and died?
Out of curiosity, why didn’t D4vd leave the country and go into hiding? Was he being watched? It seemed like he was obviously guilty so I don’t understand why he would sit around waiting. I’m glad he didn’t obviously
Even if it took a while (which usually like cases like these it does) he didn’t get away with doing such a horrific crime to a literal child.
Rest in paradise Celeste ❤️🩹
Jesus, I had multiple of his songs on my playlist and one of my favourite up and coming podcasts had him on as a guest
I even remember his very over confident statement when this first came out as though he had no idea how his car ended up where it was with someone inside, sick
