Singer D4vd's Murder Case Spurs New Allegations About Video and Online Interactions

Recent reporting has revisited the ongoing murder case involving American singer David Burke, known professionally as D4vd. Former crew members recall a disturbing moment during the filming of his January 2025 “One More Dance” music video, describing how the artist calmly climbed into a car trunk and appeared “still‑faced, eerie…like a ghost in human form.” Prosecutors allege Burke later placed 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains in the trunk of his Tesla, a claim he denies while pleading not guilty.

Separately, a teenage fan using the pseudonym Jane says the singer joked online about cutting her arms off, referencing his manga‑style alter ego Itami. Jane recalls D4vd telling her, “I would win in a karate fight with Itami,” and later remarking that Itami could “cut your arms off.” She found the jokes unsettling after an autopsy confirmed that the victim’s arms had been severed. Both accounts add new layers of scrutiny to the criminal investigation surrounding the singer’s alleged crimes.
