A judge has ordered pop singer D4vd to stand trial for the murder and dismemberment of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The ruling followed five days of proceedings in a downtown courtroom, during which prosecutors presented graphic witness testimony and crime-scene evidence. The defendant, identified in reports as Burke, will remain in custody without bail as the case moves forward.

The investigation into the death began last September, when the victim’s body was discovered inside the trunk of a Tesla registered to the singer. Throughout the preliminary hearings, the defendant was held in the courtroom under shackled security. The court’s decision to proceed to trial marks a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the teenager's death.
