A 21-year-old American rapper has been charged with murder after the body of teenager Celeste Rivas was found in the trunk of his Tesla in Los Angeles.

David Anthony Burke, known by the stage name D4vd, has been charged with the murder of the teenager Celeste Rivas, whose dismembered body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered in his name, in Los Angeles. Prosecutor Nathan Hochman announced that the 21-year-old rapper faces life imprisonment without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty, considering the aggravating circumstances, including sexual acts with a minor and the mutilation of a corpse. Rivas, originally from Riverside County, had been missing for several months at the age of 13. The body was discovered on September 8, after employees of a parking lot reported an unbearable smell coming from the vehicle. The car had been parked for nearly a month in an upscale area of Hollywood. This crime has generated considerable interest in the United States, given that D4vd gained popularity in 2022 with his song "Romantic Homicide."
