D4vd's lead singer, Michael Burke, has been charged with murder in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The alleged murder occurred several times before her death, including when Riverside County authorities contacted Burke about her disappearance during a disappearance. He reportedly told them he was unaware she was a minor and had last contact with her a few days earlier. Rivas' remains were found in a Tesla registered to Burke a day after her 15th birthday.
