Singer D4vd Ordered to Stand Trial in Murder and Abuse Case Amid Apple Music Hack
Singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, will stand trial in Los Angeles on charges including murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains related to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors presented evidence during a five-day preliminary hearing, including text messages and forensic data, leading Judge Charlaine Olmedo to find probable cause. Burke, who has pleaded not guilty, remains in custody without bail. Meanwhile, a fake song titled "I Did It" briefly appeared on his Apple Music profile, reportedly due to a hack.
