This looks like a big update in the D4vd case ... prosecutors want to call the singer's mother, father, and brother to testify before the grand jury in California, but D4vd's family isn't giving in without a fight.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, D4vd's fam is claiming a court order summoning them to testify in California violates their due process rights.
Dawud, Colleen, and Caleb Burke, who all live in Texas, claim they were denied due process because they were given redacted versions of the affidavits used to support a lower Texas court's order summoning them to be witnesses in a California grand jury proceeding.
The man in this video -- recorded just 5 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home -- is on the FBI's radar -- TMZ has learned -- and the timing of the video is critical.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the FBI is lasering in on the man in the video, who is both wearing and carrying backpacks ... right around the time of the kidnapping.
The backpack the man is carrying appears to have reflective straps ... similar to the one the apparent kidnapper was wearing as he approached Nancy's front door. It's unclear if the reflectors are on the shoulder straps or the side of the backpack.
TMZ broke the story ... the backpack seen at Nancy's house is a Walmart Ozark Trail Hiker, and that has now been confirmed by authorities.
The man in the new video is trying to enter a locked gate, to no avail. He was recorded on a resident's Ring camera at 1:52 AM.

Sen. Raphael Warnock says there's no such thing as too much celebrity support ... even if some folks think Hollywood's star-spangled backing of Kamala Harris did her no favors at the ballot box.
We got the Democratic Senator from Georgia at the Hart Building in Washington, D.C. ... and our producer asked him if there's a delicate balance when it comes to celebrity endorsements.
Sen. Warnock says he's happy for any celeb support he receives, because he's a man of the people, and celebs are people too ... and he explains why he's happy to work with folks like Usher.

We caught up with the former Undisputed WWE Champion in New York City, where we asked him whether he hopes BB finds his way back to the WWE in time for WrestleMania 42.

Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, would do anything for her son ... except sign an NDA ... at least according to a chat we had with the famous matriarch at LAX today.

A rep for the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office in Texas says ... it was reported to them at 6:44 AM. No cause of death was given.
James' wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, posted about his passing shortly after we broke the news ... writing in a shared Instagram post her husband "met his final days with courage, faith, and grace." She asked for privacy for their family at this time.

The New York rappers, who just launched their own podcast together "The Real Report," say Ja wanted no smoke when he realized his worst enemies were seated right behind him in first class for a flight from SFO to JFK ... and after some jawing and pillow throwing, Ja made the smart move and ducked off the plane to catch a later flight.
Christine Quinn's "Selling Sunset" chapter could be reopening ... TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... production for the Netflix hit series is gauging Christine's interest in a possible return for Season 10, asking whether she'd consider coming back.
We're told premature conversations have taken place and are ongoing ... but nothing is official, and no contracts have been signed.

Despite the surprising split, she tells us, "I'm grateful for the 15-year journey we've shared. It's been a meaningful chapter, but my focus isn't on my career. My focus, at this moment is rightfully on my relationships, and my community -- the people who truly know my character and where my heart is."
Rapper Chanel West Coast has gone country, but she's not leaving her hip-hop roots behind ... she told us her new song "Giddy Up" is a perfect blend of both genres -- and her best track yet!
We caught up with the former "Ridiculousness" star last night outside of Andys in West Hollywood, California, where she called the song "honestly, a little mix of everything I like, which is all music."

Lewis Pullman has been walking the nepo baby tightrope perfectly ... admitting he couldn't achieve everything he did on his own -- but, he has been taking pride in building a name for himself.
We ran into the actor at LAX Tuesday ... and we asked him about him drawing even more buzz than his famous father, Bill Pullman.
Check out the clip to see for yourself ... you can tell it means a lot for him to hear the praise after appearing in several well-received projects -- like "Thunderbolts*," "The Testament of Ann Lee," "Outer Range" and "Lessons in Chemistry" over the last few years.
The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department are homing in on the outfit the presumed kidnapper wore as he approached Nancy Guthrie's front door, and they are on the hunt for who bought the items ... law enforcement sources involved in the investigation tell TMZ.
Our sources singled out 3 items -- the gloves, the backpack, and the gun visible on the Nest video.
We're told authorities are contacting manufacturers and retailers to figure out who may have purchased the items.
BTW ... we've determined the holster in question appears to be polyester, which is typically used for carrying a revolver ... but in this case the weapon looks like a semi-automatic handgun.
TMZ received the note just before 5 AM PT, and the sender claims they've tried unsuccessfully to reach Savannah Guthrie's brother, Camron, and her sister, Annie, by email and text. The note goes on, "If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant."
There is a legitimate bitcoin address in the note ... and it is a different address from the one in the original ransom note, received by TMZ and 2 Tucson TV news stations.
It's unclear if the sender of this note is legit, but interestingly, 1 bitcoin is worth about $66,000 right now. You'll recall law enforcement is currently offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy's kidnappers.
This comes less than 24 hours after a flurry of activity in the case -- on Tuesday, the FBI released the first images of the armed individual who showed up on Nancy's doorstep early in the morning of Feb. 1, the day she was taken.
Then, in the evening, cops detained a person of interest ... a deliveryman who was pulled over in a Tucson suburb. After questioning him, though, law enforcement released the man, who told reporters he didn't even know who Nancy was.
