Singer D4vd, known for his songs like 'Romantic Homicide' and 'Here With Me', has been arrested on suspicion of killing a 14-year-old girl in Los Angeles. The teen's decomposed body was found last year in an abandoned Tesla linked to him in the Hollywood Hills, police said.
The 20-year-old singer, D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, is being held without bail. Los Angeles police said they will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on Monday to decide on charges.
For the unversed, the singer was already under investigation by a grand jury over the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The investigation was kept secret, but it became public in February when his family challenged court orders asking them to testify.
So far, the singer's representatives have not responded to requests for comment from The Associated Press.
