Prosecutors say that d4vd murdered Celeste Rivas to protect his music career because she threatened to expose him for having sex with a 14-year-old (herself). He killed her just two days before the release of his debut album Withered.
What is immensely dark and disturbing is in Romantic Homicide — the song the led to him getting an album — he sings “In the back of my mind, I killed you / and I didn’t even regret it / I can’t believe I said it / but it’s true”

Withered was released April 25… she was discovered September 8th. So she was dead for like 4 months?!

The CNN article mentioned he was charged with special circumstances, one of them being “lying in wait”. Jfc, she was freaking 14 years old. I hope he rots.
Knowing our pedo are treated nothing would have happened to him.

Disgusting. He literally silenced her. 😞

I hate that I loved the song Romantic Homocide. I saw a comment that asked “why aren’t they saying his real name, why are they using his artist name?” We know him as D4vd. You *will* be forced to think about this murder if you even *consider* listening to a song of his (which we should no longer be). No separating art from artist.

I think it’s important to note that you should never tell your abuser that you will tell on them. The best thing you can do is leave quietly.
Edit: some of you need to learn how to read. It’s a simple statement and I in no way shamed her.

He murdered her and then dismembered her body to cover up his crime. He has no remorse. She was a child.

Men need to learn how to deal with their emotions. It’s still ludicrous to me how women are the one deemed as emotional and unstable more quickly when men continuing to commit horrific acts like this in fits of fury. I honestly hope i get a son one day
Women, please be careful out there. If your partner is abusive or aggressive, do not confront them alone. Please take someone with you or avoid it altogether if possible. I escaped an abusive relationship and 4 years later I still feel reborn and like I’m living in a whole different world.

Why do predators always get away with shit? Look at everyone in the Epstein files, our president etc.

We have to do better for kids. As soon as anyone gets any fame at all the whole industry gives them permission to victimize those already in vulnerable positions. The only thing determining the degree of suffering is apparently how far the perpetrator is willing to go, clearly some are willing to commit outright murder and it’s like not anyone close to d4vd was working hard to expose his poorly executed crime. I’m glad he’s being prosecuted but punishment after the fact doesn’t prevent more kids from this fate in the future.

Lost his career all the same. Now he’s a rapist and a murderer.

They must have a pretty solid case if they’re speculating on motivation, right? Hopefully he gets locked up quickly

So dismemberment and murder were a better option?! WTF?! If he cared sooo much about his little career idk maybe don’t date children, or kill people?! It is not that hard to be a decent person. She had no chance. My heart breaks for her. This is so sad

He didn’t need to do that. We all know nobody cares about predators r@ping children, look at the fallout from the Epstein files… crickets

Poor girl. How effed up. He really thought that he could just get away with murdering someone to hide his secrets. That’s so messed up. It’s 2026. If you have to hide it, you probably shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.

I don’t get it. why did he left her in his car? if he wanted to get away from murder, he should have put her somewhere else? also, he should rot in hell.

The details of this case have haunted me ever since her body was found.
She was so vulnerable. The treatment of her body and seeming lack of care for her disappearance in the first place. My heart aches for her and her loved ones.
There really are monsters among us.

this is genuinely such a horrifying case, that poor girl was let down by so many people 🙁 i hope he gets the max time for what he did to her, what a vile scumbag he is

Words can’t express how confusing it is to just take a life, ruin several lives and your own. For fucking what?
The line of thinking is just so baffling to me.
Like he left her in the trunk of HIS car in a random neighborhood. Like that’s not self preservation, you were going to get caught.
Like the music made about her too, what is wrong with the freak. Like actual sociopathy

this is why some victims are afraid to name their rapist/abuser. and people shouldn’t blame us for it. rest in peace celesté.
