There's trouble in the grand jury room where witnesses are testifying about the circumstances surrounding Celeste Rivas' death ... because at least one witness is so uncooperative she's about to be arrested ... TMZ has learned.
Here's the way it went down ... Beth Silverman, the deputy D.A. presenting the case in Los Angeles, came out into the hallway Wednesday afternoon and approached attorney Evan Jenness. She represents Robert Morgenroth, who manages singer D4vd.
Silverman told Jenness she was going to have the judge issue a "body attachment" ... to force a female witness to testify before the grand jury. It appears the female witness was a no-show, and a visibly frustrated Silverman said she would have authorities take the female witness into custody and bring her to the courtroom.
We do not know who the female witness is, but it's interesting she's represented by the same lawyer as Morgenroth, who spent around 3 days testifying before the grand jury.

Apparently, Dynzell Sigers would rather die than be a short king ... because the Georgia man went through months of pain and therapy to have his limbs dramatically lengthened to be taller.
Sigers stopped by "TMZ Live" Wednesday, and he revealed the procedure's possible side effects include death. Check out the video ... he talks about doctors breaking bones in the leg and inserting a rod to connect the broken pieces. Over time the rod is stretched, which also stretches the bone. Dynzell said each procedure requires at least 3 months of recovery.
Back in 2022, he was a young Navy medic who got rejected by a woman -- for standing 5 feet 5 inches tall. Fast-forward to 2025, and he's now a 6' 1" internet sensation after adding 8 inches to his frame with 2 risky procedures.

Update
11:10 AM -- A neighborhood source tells TMZ, Micah was not living at his father's home but was known in the neighborhood for rambling in public and shouting nonsensical things to no one in particular.
According to our source, Micah had mental health issues, but the official diagnosis is unclear. The source adds ... Jubilant loved Micah and had been optimistic about his condition, as -- just a few weeks ago -- Jubilant told a neighbor Micah was doing really well.
Jubilant's wife was home at the time of the murder and was the one who called 911.
The son of slain Grammy-nominated opera singer Jubilant Sykes was allegedly violent toward his family years before cops arrested him in connection to the stabbing death of his father ... according to a restraining order petition.
Here's the deal ... a woman named Sarah Bennett filed for a restraining order against Micah Sykes for herself and several of her friends in 2017 -- alleging he tried to break into her friend's father's home.
In the documents, Bennett says she and Micah used to go to the same church ... and she claims he was relentlessly pursuing her -- saying she was his true love, and they were meant to be together. Bennett also claims Sykes sent her multiple texts and other direct messages
Sarah says her friend Jason Lee stepped in to defend her in person on at least one occasion ... and, eventually, she says Lee went to a meeting with Micah to explain to him Sarah wasn't interested -- which allegedly ended with Lee having to lock himself in his car to get away from an enraged Micah. Weeks after this encounter, Bennett claims Micah went to Jason's father Philip's home and attempted to break down the door.

D4vd Career Managers Closely Tied to His Personal Life

The General Manager of Mogul Vision, D4vd's record label -- who appeared before the grand jury for the last 2 days regarding the death of Celeste Rivas -- was way more than a record exec ... he was involved in D4vd's day-to-day life.
Robert Morgenroth is someone the grand jury prosecutor is intensely interested in ... as we reported, we overheard him say in the courtroom hallway that the prosecutor hammered him on why he didn't call the police. We don't know the context, but it's clear it involved D4vd, because he's a suspect in Celeste's death.
Morgenroth is way more than a G.M. -- he was also D4vd's day-to-day manager. Turns out, there were 2 managers. The other is Josh Marshall, who actually founded Mogul Vision and, along with Morgenroth, managed the singer's career.
You may remember Marshall ... he's the one who signed the lease on the house D4vd was living in -- the home police searched shortly after Celeste's body was discovered in D4vd's Tesla. Law enforcement sources say the house is an important piece of the puzzle, which the LAPD believes implicates D4vd in Celeste's death ... which police believe is a murder.
Morgenroth is also the President of Zara Brothers Travel, D4vd's tour company.
