D4vd Tesla Case

D4vd went on Amazon and purchased a couple chainsaws after he stabbed Celeste Rivas and stood by while she bled out ... this, according to prosecutors in the case.

According to new docs filed by prosecutors, investigators claim the singer stabbed Rivas to death at his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025 after ordering an Uber to bring the 14-year-old all the way from her family's home in Lake Elsinore, CA.

Once she was there, prosecutors allege D4vd stabbed Celeste to death -- and, the next day, ordered a shovel from Home Depot, which was delivered to his home through Postmates.

D4vd described alleged trips he took to London and Houston during an interview published days after prosecutors claim he murdered Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

In a recorded interview published by Songwriter Universe on April 25, 2025 -- 2 days after he stabbed Celeste, according to prosecutors -- David Burke, known as D4vd, is heard describing his songwriting process and mentions trips he took to London and Houston ... both places prosecutors claim David traveled to with Celeste.

D4vd says ... "I went to London ... with three of my friends, and we just made a song every day for two weeks in London. I love London because of the gloomy aesthetic and the gloomy ... just, like, vibe and environment that London has."

We're getting a look inside the Hollywood Hills rental house at the center of the case against D4vd ... including the garage prosecutors allege was used to store 14-year-old Celeste Rivas' body after her murder in April 2025.

Photos show the garage area authorities say became a key part of their investigation, with prosecutors claiming the space was used in the aftermath of Rivas' death.

According to court docs, prosecutors allege Rivas was stabbed inside the home off the famed Sunset Strip after being brought there in an Uber from her family's house in Lake Elsinore, CA. They claim evidence recovered from the garage is consistent with an attempt to dismember her body, including biological samples that tested positive for blood.

N3on quickly put some distance between himself and D4vd after video emerged of the two meeting ... telling the guy he's not only going to jail -- he's headed to hell as well.

The streamer reacted to a video from one of his past streams where he met the alleged murderer ... watching the video in horror as he and the singer dapped each other up.

N3on goes into a total meltdown ... claiming he had no idea he ever met the dude -- and making it clear the interaction went down long before 14-year-old Celeste Rivas was found dismembered in the now-jailed singer's Tesla.

Nick Reiner will head to court Wednesday morning for the preliminary hearing in his parents' double-murder case.

He'll appear before a judge at 8:30 AM at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles ... where prosecutors will present evidence to determine whether or not he'll go to trial.

As you know ... Nick has been charged with murdering his parents, Michele and Rob Reiner, back in December. They were found brutally stabbed to death in their Brentwood home.

D4vd's staring down some serious charges ... but his biggest concern right now? Looking courtroom-ready for his preliminary hearing.

TMZ has obtained docs which show his team pushed for dress pants and a button-down shirt for his Friday hearing ... but the judge shut that down, so he'll be rocking standard-issue jail threads.

But he did score one win -- L.A. County Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo signed off on an order Monday telling the L.A. County Sheriff's Department to give him a haircut before the May 1 hearing. NBC Los Angeles was first to report on the news.

Spotify and Apple Music are under growing pressure to yank D4vd's music off their platforms completely after he was recently charged with sexually abusing and murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas just over a year ago.

The advocacy group Industry Blackout launched a Change.org petition calling on Spotify, Apple and other streaming services to axe all his music from their catalogs, writing ... "When an artist has been charged with the sexual abuse and murder of a minor, a child who was drawn into his orbit through his music and public persona, continuing to stream, promote, and profit from his catalog is a choice. It is not a neutral one."

The petition has under 1,000 signatures so far, but it comes as artists have distanced themselves from the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. Rolling Stone reports his former collaborators Kali Uchis, Holly Humberstone, Laufey and Damiano David have all cut their collaborations from streaming platforms with the help of UMG.

Some nasty folks are going after the lawyers defending D4vd in his murder case ... and they're going so far as to flood his defense team with horrendous emails, wishing them the worst simply because they are Jewish.

TMZ got ahold of one piece of hate mail sent to D4vd's defense team ... and it's just a taste of some of the Jewish hate the D4vd case is drumming up.

Here's the full email ... "With the recent shocking news about the crimes D4VD committed on a 12 year old girl. It sickens me that your law firm would pick up this case and defend such a filthy human. I'm not surprised you are all JEWS! the only race that puts money above all morals and will go to the pits of hell for a dollar." It doesn't end there ...

The actress who portrayed D4vd’s girlfriend in one of his music videos is distancing herself from the singer ... amid growing online comparisons to Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

In a TikTok video, the actress Cassidy Clarke said she met D4vd -- legal name David Anthony Burke -- when he was 17, and even spent time around his family while filming his music video "Here with Me," released about 3 years ago.

She explained after landing the role as his onscreen girlfriend, the two followed each other on social media after a day on set ... however, she makes it clear their relationship never extended beyond that project.

Cassidy adds she plans to remove him from her social media and is officially cutting ties, while acknowledging the wave of comments she's received online -- adding he deserves "even more than what's happening to him right now" and strongly states "he's a monster."

D4vd's iPhone contains a ton of child pornography ... at least according to prosecutors.

The singer was in court Thursday -- exactly one year to the day of when prosecutors claim he murdered Celeste Rivas -- for a status hearing on his upcoming preliminary hearing, which a judge set for May 1.

During the hearing, prosecutors claimed they went through his phone and found a "significant amount" of child porn. It's unclear if the alleged CP features Celeste.

Prosecutors also revealed a wire tap was involved in the investigation. They said the wire tap took place last year, but there were no other specifics.

D4vd was shackled and wore an orange jail jumpsuit ... he was calm, cool, collected, and looked kinda bored. He spoke briefly to the judge, telling her, "Yes, ma'am," as she explained to him how the prelim works.

Celeste Rivas' family says they're "devastated" by newly released autopsy findings ... and confirm they won't attend an upcoming hearing for D4vd, who's charged with her murder.

The Rivas Hernandez family, through their attorney, tells TMZ ... they're suffering "profound emotional pain" after reviewing the report into their daughter's killing ... describing the details as "horrible and gruesome." They're now asking for privacy, understanding and patience as they process the tragedy.

The family also says Celeste's parents, Jesus and Mercedes, will not attend D4vd's hearing scheduled for Thursday.

We broke the story ... the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner had actually determined Celeste's cause and manner of death months ago -- back on December 9 -- but the findings were kept under wraps due to a court-ordered security hold requested by LAPD during the investigation.

Now that the info is public, L.A. County M.E. Dr. Odey Ukpo is speaking out ... saying it's "unfathomable" the grieving family had to wait so long for answers.

Ukpo emphasized transparency is critical not just for accountability, but to help communities understand and prevent future tragedies.

The M.E.'s report ultimately ruled Celeste's death a homicide caused by multiple penetrating injuries from unspecified object(s).

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner is speaking out about being muzzled for months in the Celeste Rivas murder case, TMZ has learned.

The M.E. says Celeste's cause and manner of death was determined way back on Dec. 9 but the information was only made public on Wednesday because there was a prior court order initiated by the LAPD that had been preventing them from releasing their findings.

In a statement, Dr. Odey Ukpo, says ... "After several months, I am grateful this information can now be released, not only to the public, but also to the grieving family enduring loss. It is unfathomable they have had to wait this long to learn what happened to their daughter."

"The transparency of the information contained in our findings and reports is essential for empowering the community to make informed changes to affectively reduce fear and allowing the community to take informed action," he added. "Making the Department’s information publicly available is not just about accountability, it is about social justice and prevention."

D4vd and Nick Reiner are sharing a roof over their heads ... they're locked up in the same Los Angeles County jail.

The singer -- who is charged with murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas -- has been transferred to Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Downtown Los Angeles ... according to online records.

Our law enforcement sources tell us D4vd was transferred there because authorities want him under better supervision because he's a celebrity inmate at the center of a high-profile case.

Celeste Rivas' cause of death has just been revealed ... and the medical examiner in Los Angeles says she was killed by multiple penetrating injuries with unspecified objects, and her death was ruled a homicide.

The M.E. says there are "2 penetrating wounds of the torso with smooth edges that may represent sharp force injuries. The wound -- [3/4 inch length and 1.5 inches deep] -- on the upper abdomen penetrates the liver, and the wound on the left chest -- [9/16 inch length and 2 inches deep] penetrates one of the left intercostal spaces, with disruption of the adjacent ribs' cortical surfaces."

It's interesting that the M.E. uses the word "may," which is something the defense will jump on.

It should also be noted that the M.E. says there were "multiple superficial linear abrasions on the right dorsal hand." It does not say whether or not these could be defensive wounds.

The M.E. also says that her left ring and pinky fingers were amputated, but the body diagram shows that her right pointer finger with the "Shhh" tattoo was intact.

D4vd is living a far different life than he was a week ago ... trading his $15,000 a month L.A. rental for a cold jail cell with strict rules.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the musician, charged with murdering Celeste Rivas, is being held in a segregated single cell. 

D4vd is escorted from his cell to the shower, which he is allowed every other day. The singer is only allowed to make phone calls on the days he is allowed a shower.

Sources tell TMZ that D4vd is allowed recreation time with fresh air, but only 3 hours per week. He has no contact with other inmates during rec time. 

Celeste Rivas' family was devastated and exhausted after D4vd's first court appearance in his murder case ... which is why they scrapped plans to address the media for the first time since he was charged with killing her.

The family was supposed to hold court Monday outside the Hall of Justice in Downtown Los Angeles and give a statement through their lawyer ... but it never happened ... and now we know why.

Patrick Steinfeld, who is representing the family, tells TMZ ... "The Rivas Hernandez family are very private individuals who were overwhelmed by the day’s events. They were concerned for their safety when they heard about the bomb threat. They were intimidated by the onslaught of reporters and the aggressiveness of some camera people."
