During a court session in Los Angeles, the final communications of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez were read aloud. The indictment alleges that she was murdered by David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd, last April. According to the prosecution’s account, Celeste arrived at her residence in Hollywood via Uber.
The last message sent from her phone read: “I’m almost there, open the door if you’re home.” Following this communication, the phone became inactive. Prosecutors allege that immediately upon her entry into the home, Burke stabbed Celeste, subsequently dismembered the body, and attempted to conceal the crime by sending messages using her phone. Celeste’s remains were discovered nearly five months later within Burke’s vehicle.
Burke faces accusations of murder, sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 14, and dismemberment. Despite the allegations presented by the state, Burke has been declared not guilty. The defense has presented arguments challenging the prosecution’s case.
The reading of the last messages provided by the prosecution served as a central piece of evidence during the proceedings involving Burke. The court proceedings continue to address the sequence of events surrounding the disappearance and subsequent discovery of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
