Downtown Los Angeles was filled with eager journalists during the press conference and arraignment for pop-rock singer D4vd. The artist was arrested last week in the murder of fourteen-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose dismembered and decomposed remains were found in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla registered to the “Romantic Homicide” vocalist last September.
On Monday morning (April 20), during the press conference at the city’s Hall of Justice, the media room was packed as attendees awaited remarks from Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell. The shock among attendees was most palpable as the mugshot for D4vd, born David Anthony Burke, was unveiled in the room opposite a picture of the late Rivas Hernandez. D4vd’s mugshot, which reporters impatiently snapped pictures of before the conference began, also sat beside a repeating news brief about the teen’s murder.
