Text messages show teen whom singer D4vd is accused of killing had an abortion

Key Points:

• Text messages presented in court reveal that Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the 14-year-old allegedly killed by singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke), had an abortion during their relationship, with discussions about abortion and contraception occurring multiple times.
• The relationship, involving explicit sexual content, began when Celeste was as young as 11 and continued until she was 13, according to recovered texts dating from August 2022 to April 2025.
• Celeste’s remains were found in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla in September, following her disappearance in April 2025; an autopsy confirmed her death was caused by multiple penetrating injuries consistent with homicide.
• Court testimony described postmortem dismemberment of Celeste’s body, likely involving power tools, and prosecutors allege D4vd killed her to protect his music career, which she allegedly threatened.
• D4vd has pleaded not guilty to charges including murder and continuous sexual abuse of a child; a preliminary hearing is ongoing to determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial.
