TMZ has obtained exclusive video showing singer D4vd being arrested for the murder of Celeste Rivas and the scene is intense.

In the footage, obtained by TMZ, law enforcement is seen taking D4vd into custody shortly after 5 PM Thursday in the Hollywood Hills, not far off the Sunset Strip.

The footage shows officers heavily armed, carrying guns, and some wearing tactical helmets and protective gear, underscoring just how seriously authorities were treating the arrest of the singer.

Singer D4vd didn't only get his freedom taken away last night, but also seemingly his label Interscope Records had pulled his page from the website completely.

On the artists page for Interscope, where all of their signed talent lives and is featured, D4vd's page is no longer visible or listed amongst the rest of the bunch.

Even when searched in a normal web browser for D4vd and Interscope Records together, the link to his page does appear ... however, when clicking on the link, it leads to a dead end. It's unclear when exactly Interscope removed him, but records show he was still listed on there as an artist at the end of February.

Tyler Robinson's defense team may have sustained the biggest blow yet to their case ... a forensic report's findings purportedly fail to rule Tyler out as Charlie Kirk's killer.

The report, unsealed by a judge on Wednesday, reveals that one bullet jacket fragment recovered from Kirk's autopsy was determined to come from a .30 caliber bullet, according to Daily Mail. That would match the caliber of the Mauser 98 .30-06 rifle reportedly recovered near the scene of the shooting, which prosecutors allege was used by Robinson to kill Kirk.

As we reported ... initial bullet-matching test results were inconclusive, but that did not remove Tyler from suspicion.

Tyler's defense team suggested they may use the initial test as exculpatory evidence ... but prosecutors told us it wouldn't help Tyler's case.
