Back in December 2025, reports indicated that the singer and rapper,D4vd, who gained popularity on his songHere With Me,is'likely' to be indictedin connection with the murder case of Celeste Rivas, following reports that he had beentagged as a suspecta month before the indictment rumour.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has been closely associated with the death of 15-year-old Rivas, as her severely decomposed remains were found inside the trunk of a Tesla parked in an impound lot in Los Angeles, which was registered under the singer's name. Rivas had been missing for a year when she was found on 8 September 2025.
Before the discovery, a foul smell emanating from the Tesla was reported by the impound yard employee, prompting authorities to launch an investigation.
It has been more than five months since Rivas' remains were found in the trunk D4vd's Tesla, and many are questioning why theRomantic Homicidesinger is not yet behind bars, despite an indictment rumour that circulated two months ago. Netizens have expressed disappointment over the slow-moving case, continuing to weigh in on the situation.
A Reddit user recentlyexpressed disappointment over the slow progressin Rivas' case and the fact that the rumoured indictment of D4vd in connection to the death of a 15-year-old teenager has yet to materialise.
Reddit user Linsorks posted with a title 'Expect to see arrests in February my ass,' they wrote: '3 days till the month is over (or 4 not sure If this is a leap year) And still. No arrests. No official court hearings. No public toxicology records. Unknown cause of death. And still, no Justice for Celeste.'
'Honestly.. it's been too long. I doubt David will ever see the inside of a holding cell let alone a prison,' they added.
The user also claimed that a 'vast majority of people on social media' are now convinced the singer is innocent, adding people believed that 'His manager did it (yes, check the comments on posts related to David — the number of people believing in his innocence is absurd). His comeback is only a matter of a few PR stunts.'
He also questioned the teenager's family's silence on the case, they wrote: 'Why is the family of Celeste so quite? Why is no one pushing any actual charges in a case as high profile as this? What the hell is going on?'
His post has gained attention with many sharing the same sentiments. One wrote: 'I agree with you and I'm tired of being optimistic.'
