Shocking New Details Emerge in D4vd Murder Case Involving Celeste Rivas

Prosecutors have unveiled disturbing new allegations against singer D4vd, accused of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas at his Hollywood Hills home in April 2025. Court documents detail a series of calculated actions, including purchasing chainsaws and other items to dismember the victim’s body.

This case has captured public attention due to the horrific nature of the crime and the involvement of a rising music star. The revelations raise serious questions about premeditation, abuse of power, and the extent of evidence authorities have gathered.

Timeline of the Crime and Evidence of Premeditation

According to prosecutors, D4vd ordered an Uber to bring Celeste from her family home to his residence, where he allegedly stabbed her to death. Following the murder, he purchased a shovel, chainsaws, a body bag, heavy-duty laundry bags, and an inflatable pool under a fake name, 'Victoria Mendez,' to aid in covering up the crime.

Investigators found evidence consistent with dismemberment in the inflatable pool, including multiple linear cuts and biological samples testing positive for blood. The medical examiner also discovered blue plastic fragments embedded in the victim’s body, matching the pool material.

Disturbing Details of the Relationship and Motive

Prosecutors allege the relationship between D4vd and Celeste began when she was just 11, with sexual activity starting at age 13. Despite being aware of her age and her family reporting her missing, D4vd continued contact, even paying a classmate to deliver a phone to her.

The night before the murder, the pair reportedly had a heated text exchange over jealousy and threats to expose damaging information that could ruin D4vd’s career. This confrontation is believed to have triggered the fatal events.

Cover-Up Attempts and Disposal of Evidence

After the murder, D4vd allegedly sent texts to Celeste’s phone to create an alibi and drove to Santa Barbara County to dispose of her belongings. Surveillance footage confirms he was the last to drive the vehicle where her body was later found.

• Ordered a shovel via Postmates the day after the murder
• Purchased two chainsaws and a body bag days later
• Made multiple trips to remote areas to dispose of evidence
• Ordered a 'burn cage' to incinerate evidence

Current Status and Legal Proceedings

D4vd was arrested recently and is currently facing charges including murder and possession of child pornography. He has pled not guilty and requested an immediate preliminary hearing. The case continues to unfold as prosecutors prepare for trial.

“The evidence shows a clear pattern of premeditation and an attempt to cover up a horrific crime,” prosecutors stated in court documents.
