Los Angeles: Singer D4vd has been arrested on suspicion of killing a 14-year-old girl whose decomposed body was found last year in an apparently abandoned Tesla registered to him that was towed from the Hollywood Hills, police said Thursday.
Los Angeles police said in a brief statement that the 20-year-old Houston-born alt-pop singer whose legal name is David Burke was being held without bail. Police said investigators would present a case to the District Attorneys Office for consideration of charges on Monday.
The singer had been under investigation by an LA County grand jury looking into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The probe was officially secret, but its existence — and the designation of D4vd as its target — was revealed on February 25 when his mother, father and brother filed an objection in a Texas court to subpoenas demanding they testify.
Representatives for the singer have not responded to multiple requests from The Associated Press for comment on the case.
More to come.
