The D4vid rapper was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for his alleged connection to the crime involving a teenage girl.
In September last year, the body of the victim, named Celeste Rivas Hernandez, was found dismembered in the trunk of a vehicle registered to D4vid, whose first name is David Anthony Burke.
"The Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Homicide Division, with the cooperation of the Gang and Drug Trafficking Division, have arrested David Burke for the murder of Celeste Rivas," the LAPD said in a release.
Authorities, who shared several images of the operation against the rapper, added that D4vid will remain "detained without bail."
On September 8, 2025, authorities received a tip about a strong odor at a vehicle storage facility located in Hollywood. Upon arrival, they found the lifeless body of Rivas Hernandez in a car owned by D4vid.
Forensics said the victim might have been dead for some time, due to the advanced state of decomposition in which the body was found.
In a statement sent to AFP, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said that "it is expected that the case will be presented to the Major Crimes Division."
