Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s Family Speaks After D4vd’s Arrest
Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s family is now speaking out after months of unimaginable loss. Her father, Jesus Rivas, broke his silence just two days after D4vd was arrested on suspicion of her murder. “Thank God… Justice for Celeste,” he said through his attorney, Patrick Steinfeld, in a statement shared April 18. Meanwhile, the 21-year-old singer remains in custody without bail under the Los Angeles Police Department, with a court appearance set for April 20.
As previously reported, D4vd’s legal team is wasting no time pushing back after his arrest, making it clear they’re standing firm against the allegations tied to the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. In a statement shared shortly after he was taken into custody, his attorneys denied any wrongdoing. They also pointed out that, as of now, no formal charges or indictment have been filed, noting that he is being held on suspicion while the investigation continues. Doubling down, they stated, “Let us be clear — the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death.”D4vd’s Legal Team Stands Firm On His Innocence
Footage Shows Singer Being Taken Into Custody
All of this comes amid newly surfaced footage that’s now adding another layer to the case. According to reports, videos show the singer being taken into custody by law enforcement in the Hollywood Hills around 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 16. Furthermore, clips obtained by multiple outlets capture multiple officers placing him under arrest. Additional footage shows him walking down a residential street with his hands behind his back as police escort him away.
D4vd—who had reportedly not been seen publicly for months leading up to the arrest—appears in gray sweatpants and a black hoodie, keeping a blank expression as the situation unfolds. Neighbors in the area claimed there was a noticeable police presence. And, video from the scene includes officers using a loudspeaker to call for a surrender before moving in. Authorities later confirmed the arrest was made on probable cause. Police also noted they had been closely tracking developments in the ongoing investigation tied to Celeste’s death.
