"The 21-year-old musician, who was born David Anthony Burke, is being held without bail, according to city authorities. In September, LAPD detectives were called to a tow yard in Hollywood, after receiving reports of a foul odor emitting from an impounded car that was registered to Burke."
"Authorities found a dismembered body that was later identified as 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She had been reported missing in 2024, and was last seen in Lake Elsinore, approximately 60 miles south-east of downtown Los Angeles."
"Los Angeles's medical examiner's office determined that Rivas Hernandez had been deceased in the vehicle for an extended period of time before being found. Police said Burke's case will be presented to the district attorney's office on Monday."
"Burke, who was raised in Houston, became a breakout star around 2022 after a string of viral TikTok hits, including Romantic Homicide, which has seen renewed scrutiny over lyrics about death."
