Teen allegedly killed by singer D4vd had abortion, court hears

## Court Proceedings Reveal New Details

In a Los Angeles court, it was revealed that Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a teenager allegedly killed by singer D4vd, had an abortion following a sexual encounter with him. This information emerged during a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to prosecute the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.

## Text Messages and Allegations

Prosecutors presented text messages between Burke and Hernandez, indicating he inquired about the abortion and its paternity. Hernandez confirmed the child was his. The prosecution alleges Burke killed her after she threatened to expose their illegal relationship, potentially harming his career.

## Discovery and Charges

Hernandez's body was discovered in a Tesla registered to Burke, leading to charges of murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. If convicted, Burke could face life imprisonment or the death penalty.

## Testimonies and Defense

Detective Corey Farrell testified about explicit photos found on Burke's phone. Dr. Grant Ho, who conducted the autopsy, noted the difficulty in determining the time of death due to severe decomposition. The defense suggested Hernandez might have been injured during a struggle, but the doctor found no typical self-harm marks.

The preliminary hearing is set to conclude soon, with the court deciding on the sufficiency of evidence for a trial.
