Singer D4vd is likely to face murder charges in the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, according to TMZ, as a Los Angeles County grand jury continues hearing testimony in the case. Prosecutors are reportedly pushing for an indictment, believing the artist was involved in the teen’s death. Among those who testified earlier this month was D4vd’s manager and record label executive, Robert Morgenroth, who allegedly told jurors he learned that Rivas Hernandez’s decomposing body had been dumped in the trunk of the singer’s Tesla. He was reportedly questioned aggressively about why police were not alerted sooner.

Investigators say Rivas Hernandez’s remains were discovered Sept. 8 inside an abandoned Tesla that had been towed from the Hollywood Hills after residents reported a foul odor. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner stated the body was “severely decomposed” and had likely been inside the vehicle for an extended period. The LAPD has declined to comment publicly, with Chief Jim McDonnell saying details are being withheld to avoid jeopardizing the investigation. A court order has also sealed the full autopsy results while the cause of death is still being determined.

Rivas Hernandez was 13 when she was reported missing from Lake Elsinore in April 2024. Authorities say she and D4vd knew each other and were in a relationship before her disappearance. While the singer initially cooperated with police, investigators later said he stopped communicating. D4vd has since canceled the remainder of his tour and has not made public statements. The grand jury process is ongoing, with additional witnesses potentially called through February 2026.
