I'm Cory with the story.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hockman just dropped a bombshell charge against 21-year-old

singer David, whose real name is David Burke.

He's spacing first-degree murder for the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez last

April at his Hollywood Hillspot.

Prosecutors say he laid in wait and killed her for financial gain to keep his music career

rolling.

Burke was allegedly in a sexual relationship with the teen, and cops were probing him for

loot acts with her when she was under 14.

They even hit him with a charge for murdering a witness to that very investigation.

She was a runaway from Riverside County, showing up at his place on April 23rd, 2025, the

day she vanished.

The heartbreak hits hard when you think about her age and how she ended up there.

Her dismembered body turned up in bags inside the trunk of Burke's Tesla SUV on September

8th, decomposed and hidden away.

Folks are reeling from the details, especially with her being so young and vulnerable.

Fast forward to now, the investigation still cooking with physical, forensic, and digital

evidence lined up for court.

The coroner's report is coming public soon, though cause of death stays under wraps for

the moment.

Burke's team fired back, swearing he's innocent, and the real proof will clear him.

As this unfolds in court, we'll see if the evidence stacks up like the DA claims.

But one thing's clear, this case is shaking up the music world big.

Time.
