In a shocking development, popular singer D4vd could potentially face murder charges in connection with the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. This update comes months after the teenager's body was discovered inside a vehicle registered to the artist.
Grand Jury Investigates Potential Murder Charges
According to a report from TMZ, prosecutors are likely to pursue the case through a grand jury, which holds the authority to issue formal indictments. The panel is described as an 'investigative grand jury,' primarily tasked with gathering evidence and witness testimonies rather than determining charges immediately.
Prosecutors, including Beth Silverman, reportedly believe D4vd was involved in the teen's death. The singer's day-to-day manager, Robert Morgenroth, has already testified before this jury for several days. Additional witnesses could be called to testify as early as February, although no formal charges have been filed at this time, and the investigation remains active.
Romantic Link and Discovery of the Body
The case took a personal turn when authorities confirmed that D4vd and Celeste Rivas were romantically linked and knew each other. This confirmation followed viral social media posts speculating about their relationship.
The tragic discovery occurred in September, when workers complained of a foul odor coming from an impounded car. The vehicle had been towed from the Hollywood Hills area. Police responded and found Celeste Rivas's body inside the car, which was registered to the singer.
Police Search and Singer's Response
Following the discovery, the investigation intensified rapidly. Police searched a rental home in the Hollywood Hills where D4vd had been staying. They obtained search warrants and seized several items, including a laptop, for further examination.
Initially, D4vd cooperated with investigators. However, as the probe deepened, he later cancelled his upcoming tour dates and festival appearances. The move was seen as a direct response to the escalating investigation into Celeste Rivas's death.
The entertainment world now watches closely as the legal process unfolds, awaiting potential indictments from the grand jury in the coming weeks.
