In a startling development, an interview with rising music star David Burke, known as D4vd, has emerged where he details trips to London and Houston with Celeste Rivas Hernandez just days after prosecutors say he fatally stabbed her. The footage, recorded two days after the alleged murder, adds a disturbing layer to the ongoing investigation.

This revelation is significant as it contrasts sharply with the timeline of events prosecutors have presented, raising questions about D4vd’s actions and state of mind. Meanwhile, he faces serious charges including first-degree murder and possession of child pornography, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for late May.

The Interview That Raises Eyebrows

The interview, published by Songwriter Universe on April 25, 2025, features D4vd discussing his creative process and recent travels. He mentions spending two weeks in London with friends, writing a song every day, and then returning to Houston for another two weeks. Prosecutors claim these trips were taken with Celeste, who was murdered just days before the interview was released.

"I love London because of the gloomy aesthetic and the gloomy... just, like, vibe and environment that London has," D4vd said, explaining why he chose the locations for his songwriting sessions.David Burke (D4vd)
