A judge is set to hear damning evidence against viral singer D4vd, aka David Burke, accused of murdering and dismembering a 14-year-old girl he allegedly met at age 11. Prosecutors say Burke, 18 at the time, killed her after she threatened to expose their secret relationship — one they claim could’ve destroyed his rising music career. The hearing, acting as a mini-trial, will decide if there’s enough to proceed to trial, with Burke’s defense remaining silent on details. His DNA was found at the scene, and he’s been held without bail since arrest in April — appearing in jail clothes despite his attorney’s request for a suit. Once known for hits like “Romantic Homicide” and Coachella fame, Burke’s career was peaking when the crime allegedly occurred.
