Singer D4vd is now the target of a Los Angeles County grand jury investigation into the killing of a missing 14-year-old girl whose decomposed body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him last year, according to court documents.
Prosecutors describe the 20-year-old Houston-born singer, whose legal name is David Burke, as the target of the investigation in grand jury subpoenas issued Jan. 15 seeking to have three of his relatives testify.
The documents, obtained and viewed by Global News, were sealed in California, where the grand jury investigation had been kept secret. They were later made public by an appeal of the subpoenas in Texas from Burke’s mother, father and brother, who were ordered to appear before a Los Angeles grand jury on Feb. 11.
The legal documents say the “Target may be involved in having committed the following criminal offenses against the laws of the State of California, to wit: One count of Murder.”

The Tesla was registered in his name at the address of his subpoenaed family members, the court filings say.
The body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found on Sept. 8, a day after she would have turned 15. She was a 13-year-old seventh grader when her family reported her missing in 2024 from her hometown of Lake Elsinore, about 112 kilometres southeast of Los Angeles. In the court documents, authorities say she was 14 when she was killed.
The filing states that Rivas “may have been the victim of foul play.”
