Singer D4vd arrested on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez whose body was found in his Tesla
Los Angeles police arrested 21-year-old singer D4vd (David Burke) on Thursday on suspicion of murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The girl's dismembered body was found in September in a Tesla registered to Burke that had been towed from Hollywood Hills. Burke's defense attorneys maintain his innocence and say the evidence will show he did not kill her.

Most outlets focus on arrest details and legal process while NY Post hints at potential case problems. Al Jazeera incorrectly calls him a rapper instead of alt-pop singer. Coverage splits between straightforward crime reporting and speculation about case strength.
