Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported56m ago
US singer D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges in connection with the killing of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The 21-year-old artist entered his plea during an arraignment hearing on Monday, following the discovery of Hernandez's dismembered and decomposed remains inside the trunk of Burke's Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard.
In a significant legal development, the singer's celebrity defense attorneys have withdrawn from the case. As a result of this change in legal representation, Burke will now be represented by a public defender as the murder trial proceeds.
