A chilling timeline unfolds as prosecutors detail the final hours of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who vanished after arriving at the Hollywood home of singer D4vd — now known as David Burke — on April 23, 2025. Text messages reveal her last known message: “I’m almost there, open the door.” The prosecution alleges Burke fatally stabbed her shortly after she entered, presenting DNA evidence, blood stains in his garage, and her eventual discovery months later in a car registered to him. Burke, 21, has pleaded not guilty, with his defense arguing no witnesses or cameras confirm her entry or his presence during the alleged murder. They also highlight Celeste’s repeated requests to meet him and inconsistencies in her self-reported age. Prosecutors claim Burke’s later texts expressing concern were a cover-up to fabricate an alibi. The judge now faces the critical decision: will D4vd stand trial for murder, sexual abuse of a minor, and mutilation?
