D4vd Faces Murder Trial Over the Death of a 14‑Year‑Old
A Los Angeles judge has ruled that US musician D4vd must stand trial for murder in the death of 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The decision followed a five‑day preliminary hearing where prosecutors questioned a dozen witnesses and presented photographic evidence that ties the singer to the alleged crime.
The case was reported live from inside the courtroom by BBC’s North American correspondent Shaimaa Khalil, who navigated the tense atmosphere and discussed the evidence presented. Witnesses ranged from neighbors to forensic analysts, and the prosecution’s narrative focused on the victim’s identity and the circumstances leading to her untimely death.
The ruling marks a significant escalation in the legal battle against D4vd, who has previously faced allegations of sexual misconduct. The upcoming trial will be closely watched by the public and legal observers alike.
