D4vd was arrested last week and hit with multiple charges related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas.

Last week, D4vd was arrested and hit with multiple charges related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. The teenager's dismembered body was discovered in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to the singer in September. If convicted, D4vd could face the death penalty. He pleaded not guilty to his charges on Monday (April 20).

According to TMZ, the 21-year-old is being kept under some pretty harsh conditions behind bars. Reportedly, he's being isolated from other inmates in a one-person cell. He can't have visitors and only gets three hours of fresh air per week. He also has no access to TV, has no money on his books, and can only make phone calls every other day.

A source told the outlet that the prison is “dirty and smells,” also describing it as “wild.”

As for how exactly prosecutors accuse D4vd of killing Rivas, they allege that he "personally used a deadly and dangerous weapon, a sharp instrument, to commit the crime."

“Celeste was just a child, under 14 years old, when David Burke allegedly engaged in repeated lewd and lascivious sexual relations with her,” District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman stated at a news conference this week. “But Burke’s actions did not allegedly stop there. When she threatened to expose his criminal conduct and devastate his musical career, Burke allegedly murdered her, cut up her body and stuffed her body in two bags that were placed in the front trunk of his car."

"There the dismembered body sat for over four months decomposing until it was found at a tow yard on Sept. 8, 2025," he added. "This horrific and gruesome murder committed by the charged sexual predator is shocking and appalling. To Celeste’s loved ones, we will get the justice you seek and deserve.”
