D4vd Leaves LA Home After Police Raid..
David (D4vd) Vacates Los Angeles Home Amid Intensifying Celeste Rivas Investigation
Los Angeles, CA — September 2025
Singer David Anthony Burke, professionally known as D4vd, has vacated a luxury Hollywood Hills residence just days after Los Angeles police executed a search warrant at the property. The development follows the discovery of the body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas in a vehicle registered to Burke, an event that has since sparked a high-profile criminal investigation and widespread public scrutiny.
Lease Broken After Police Raid
Sources close to the case confirm that the Los Angeles Police Department raided the leased residence earlier this month, seizing multiple devices including laptops, hard drives, and personal electronics believed to contain digital evidence relevant to the investigation. In the immediate aftermath, the landlord of the $20,000-per-month home reported that the lease—initially signed in February 2024 by Burke’s manager, Josh Marshall—was officially broken.
The landlord further indicated that he had no prior knowledge that Burke himself had been living on the premises until authorities served the warrant. In the days that followed, both Burke and Marshall were seen removing their belongings from the home. The sudden termination of the lease has fueled speculation that those close to the artist may have known more than they initially disclosed.
Celeste Rivas Found in Burke’s Tesla
The investigation took a grim turn earlier this month when the body of Celeste Rivas was discovered in the front trunk of a 2023 Tesla registered to Burke. The vehicle had been towed from a Los Angeles location after being left abandoned for an extended period. Personnel at the tow yard reportedly noted a foul odor coming from the vehicle, prompting authorities to investigate further.
Rivas, who had been reported missing multiple times throughout 2024, was officially identified via forensic analysis on September 17. The cause of death remains undetermined, pending further examination by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. Investigators have not yet disclosed a specific timeline for when or how Rivas died.
Despite the disturbing circumstances, Burke has not been charged with any crime as of this writing. However, law enforcement sources confirm that he remains a central figure in the investigation.
Why Charges Have Not Been Filed
Legal experts familiar with the case caution that while the discovery of Rivas’s body in Burke’s vehicle is highly incriminating, it is not in itself sufficient to justify immediate criminal charges. At present, the available evidence is described as largely circumstantial. Without a confirmed cause of death, definitive time of death, or clear forensic links tying Burke to the actual disposal of the body, authorities are reportedly exercising caution to avoid undermining a potential prosecution.
Investigators are actively reviewing electronic communications, location data, surveillance footage, and any trace evidence—including DNA or blood residue—found on the Tesla and within the Hollywood Hills residence.
One critical factor is the need to establish intent and knowledge: whether Burke was aware of the body being in his vehicle, and if so, what steps he may have taken to conceal it. The absence of these elements could complicate a case that otherwise appears damning on its surface.
The Manager’s Involvement
Josh Marshall’s role in the matter is under increasing scrutiny. As both Burke’s manager and the individual who signed the lease on the property now linked to the investigation, Marshall’s potential awareness—or lack thereof—of events leading to Rivas’s death is a point of interest to investigators.
While no allegations have been made against Marshall at this time, legal observers note that shared residency and co-ownership of assets could carry legal consequences if it is proven that he had knowledge of the crime or took steps to obstruct justice.
Public and Industry Response
The entertainment industry has responded swiftly. Multiple brands—including fashion and lifestyle companies that previously partnered with Burke—have cut ties. A scheduled U.S. tour was canceled, and high-profile collaborators have removed music featuring Burke from digital platforms.
These actions reflect the intense public backlash following the revelation of Rivas’s death. Social media platforms have been inundated with calls for justice, and advocacy groups have rallied around Rivas’s family, who recently launched a public fundraiser to cover funeral expenses.
Ongoing Questions
Several critical questions remain unanswered:
How did Rivas die?
The cause of death has not yet been released. Determining whether the death was accidental, intentional, or due to external factors is central to the case.
When did she die?
Establishing a clear time of death will be essential in narrowing down suspects, determining whether Rivas died at the home, in the vehicle, or elsewhere.
Was Burke directly involved?
While his car was the site of the discovery, whether Burke participated in or was aware of the concealment of the body remains under investigation.
Were others involved?
The possibility of third-party involvement—either in Rivas’s death or in the subsequent concealment of her body—is being actively explored.
What digital evidence exists?
The devices seized from Burke’s residence may contain messages, photos, or location data that could clarify his connection to Rivas.
Conclusion
With public attention intensifying and media coverage expanding, the case surrounding David Burke and the death of Celeste Rivas continues to evolve rapidly. Authorities appear determined to build a robust, evidence-based case before proceeding with formal charges—if any.
Until then, Burke remains a person of interest, not a suspect, and the legal presumption of innocence stands. Nonetheless, his departure from the Hollywood Hills home where key evidence may have been located suggests that the investigation is approaching a critical juncture.
The coming weeks will likely determine whether this case results in criminal proceedings or remains a tragic mystery at the intersection of celebrity, youth, and unanswered questions.
