David Anthony Burke, who began his music career as D4vd after uploading Fortnite montages to YouTube with his own original songs in 2021, has reportedly been identified as a suspect in the murder of Celeste Rivas.
According to TMZ, law enforcement said that despite there being no official paperwork classifying Burke as a suspect yet, “investigators are looking at [him] as a suspect.” Those same investigators reportedly claimed they’re viewing Rivas’ death as a homicide while waiting on toxicology results from the medical examiner’s office.
An NBC Los Angeles report corroborates TMZ, stating that an LAPD officer with direct knowledge of the investigation said Burke has been uncooperative with the investigation and that he likely had help with dismembering and disposing of Rivas’ body this past spring. According to law enforcement, who spoke to NBC News, Rivas’ remains were not intact when discovered.
