Singer D4vd has been taken into custody on allegations of murdering a 14-year-old girl, whose decomposed remains were discovered seven months prior in his seemingly abandoned Tesla, authorities reported on Thursday.
D4vd's legal representatives claimed his innocence.
The Los Angeles Police issued a concise statement stating that homicide detectives apprehended the 21-year-old alt-pop artist, born in Houston and legally named David Burke, on charges of murder in connection with the investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
He is being held without bail and is likely to be charged on Monday.
Celeste Rivas Hernandez's father expressed gratitude to God following the arrest of singer D4vd, who is connected to the brutal murder of his daughter.
“Thank God … justice for Celeste,” her father said in a statement released by the attorney representing the family of Hernandez on Friday.
