Bomb threats were reported outside an LA courthouse on Monday as singer d4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, was arraigned on first-degree murder charges in connection with the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Police declared all clear after officers swept the premises and found nothing.

It remains unclear who made the threats or whether they were connected to the proceedings inside the courthouse.

TMZ footage showed sheriff's deputies informing reporters about the bomb threats before confirming that everything was under control. A reporter at the scene asked one of the officers whether the incident was connected to what was happening inside the courthouse; the officer said he could not comment.

A second officer confirmed that law enforcement was sweeping the premises and that once the area was cleared, members of the public would be permitted to enter.

Law enforcement has not confirmed any connection between the bomb threats and d4vd's arraignment proceedings. The officer who spoke to reporters at the scene declined to comment on whether the two incidents were related.

The timing of the threats, coinciding with one of the most high-profile arraignments in Los Angeles this year, prompted widespread speculation on social media. However, no named individual or group has claimed responsibility, and no arrests in connection with the bomb threats had been reported at the time of publication.
