Prosecutor: Singer D4vd’s iPhone contained ‘signiﬁcant amount’ of child porn

By Fred Shuster, City News Service

An iPhone owned by singer D4vd, who is charged with killing a 14-year-old girl whose dismembered body was found in the trunk of his Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard, contained “a significant amount of child pornography,” a prosecutor told a judge Thursday, as attorneys agreed to convene again next week to determine how quickly a hearing can be held to determine if the case can proceed to trial.

The 21-year-old D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is charged with capital murder in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were found Sept. 8, 2025, in the front trunk of the Tesla registered to the singer. The body was decomposed and dismembered, with the head and torso in one bag and her severed limbs in another, authorities said.

D4vd — pronounced “David” — was charged April 20 with murder, continuous sexual abuse of a child under age 14 and mutilation of human remains. He remains jailed without bail, and could face a possible death sentence if convicted, although prosecutors have not yet decided if they will seek capital punishment.

Through his attorneys, D4vd pleaded not guilty to the charges April 20.

In court Thursday, prosecutors and defense attorneys discussed next steps in the case, with a status conference scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon, when the parties are expected to determine how quickly they can proceed with a preliminary hearing, which will determine if there is enough evidence for D4vd to stand trial.

Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman told Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo the prosecution is “anxious” to being the preliminary hearing, noting it has “been one year since Celeste’s death.” Prosecutors said April 20 they believe Celeste was killed by D4vd in a Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025. Silverman noted,

however, that there is a voluminous amount of evidence in the case. She said three grand juries had been hearing evidence in the investigation, and evidence ran the gamut from police reports to body-worn video to forensic reports and the medical examiner’s investigation.

She also said during the hearing, without elaborat-

on Celeste’s death. The examination concluded that the teen died of “multiple penetrating injuries” with an object or objects.

The autopsy was performed on Sept. 10, 2025, two days after the girl’s body was found. The manner and cause of death were determined Dec. 9, 2025, but the results had been ordered sealed by a judge

ing on the content, that D4vd’s iPhone contained “a significant amount of child pornography.”

Defense attorneys asked that prosecutors turn over as much “basic discovery” as they cas as quickly as possible. Olmedo tentatively scheduled a preliminary hearing to begin next Friday, May 1. Silverman told the judge the prosecution estimated its portion of that hearing would take between four and five days. It’s unclear how long the defense portion of the hearing might take.

D4vd, appearing in court Thursday in orange jail clothes, did not speak during the hearing.

On Wednesday, the county Medical Examiner’s Office released the long- sealed autopsy report

while police and the District Attorney’s Office built their case.

Celeste’s body was found just days after what would have been her 15th birthday.

Patrick Steinfeld, attorney for Celeste’s parents Jesus Rivas and Mercedes Martinez, released a statement Wednesday in response to the autopsy report.

“The Rivas Hernandez family is absolutely devastated by the findings contained in the Medical Examiner’s Report involving the horrible and gruesome death of their beloved daughter,” Steinfeld said. “These findings have caused profound emotional pain for the family. They respectfully ask for privacy, understanding, and patience as they process this information. Jesus and Mercedes will not attend David Anthony

Burke’s hearing (Thursday). The Rivas Hernandez family sincerely appreciates the community’s support and concern.”

The autopsy report gave specific details about the manner in which the teen’s body was dismembered, the location of the penetration wounds on her side and chest and the amputation of two of her fingers.

The murder charge against D4vd includes the special circumstance allegations of lying in wait, murder for financial gain and killing a witness in a criminal investigation. The District Attorney’s Office is expected to decide later whether to seek the death penalty against Burke.

At an April 20 news conference, District Attorney Nathan Hochman said the lying in wait allegation stems from D4vd’s invitation to Celeste to come to his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025, after which she was never seen again, while the financial gain allegation stems from the singer’s effort to maintain his lucrative music career, which was being threatened by his alleged sexual relationship with the underage girl, Hochman said. Celeste was considered the key witness in that

investigation, leading to the allegation of murdering a witness, he said.

D4vd was arrested last Thursday afternoon by Los Angeles Police Department officers. His attorneys issued a statement last week denying the singer killed Celeste.

“Let us be clear, the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez, and he was not the cause of her death,” defense attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski, and Regina Peter said. “There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed. David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence.”

Celeste, of Lake Elsinore, had been reported missing by her mother in 2024, when the girl was just 13. Her mother previously told reporters her daughter had a boyfriend named David. D4vd has a tattoo on one of his fingers matching the one reading “Shhh” that the medical examiner revealed previously was on Rivas’ index finger.

The Tesla in which her body was found had been

abandoned near a home in the 1300 block of Doheny Place, not far from a home D4vd had rented. During the investigation, police served a search warrant at the house and took several items as possible evidence.

“The vehicle had been parked at the location from which it was towed for several weeks, so Ms. Rivas Hernandez may have been deceased for several weeks before the discovery of her body,” police said in a statement in September.

In November, police acknowledged media reports that D4vd traveled to the Santa Barbara area during spring of last year for unknown reasons. The media reports suggested that he traveled to a remote area and remained there for several hours, and that the singer may have had help from another person to dismember the teen’s body.

Police did not provide specifics, saying only, “The reason for that trip is still under investigation and we’ve drawn no conclusions at this point about the relevance of the trip to this case.”

The dismembered and deteriorated condition of the teen’s body is believed to have played a key role in the length of the criminal investigation. It was unclear how many people testified before the grand juries that were hearing evidence in the case.

In January, Neo Langston, a 23-year-old social media personality and friend of D4vd, was arrested in Montana, allegedly for failing to appear as a witness in Los Angeles.

In February, D4vd’s parents — Dawud and Colleen Burke — filed court papers seeking to quash subpoenas they had received to appear before the grand jury. Their court papers revealed grisly details about the condition of the teen’s body when it was found, stating that her head and torso were inside a cadaver bag, and her limbs were inside a separate bag -both of which were found in the trunk of the Tesla.

Rosemead City Notices

NOTICE OF THIRD PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD ON TUESDAY, MAY 26, 2026

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Rosemead City Council will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM, at Rosemead City Hall, located at 8838 East Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, California 91770. Remote public comments will be received via email at publiccomment@rosemeadca.gov by 5:00 p.m. up to the day of the meeting. Interpreters will be available to assist members of the public that speak Chinese (Cantonese & Mandarin), Spanish, and Vietnamese. All comments are public record and will be recorded in the official record of the City. If you have a request for accommodation under the ADA, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100.

The Rosemead City Council is evaluating the potential of transitioning from a general law city to a charter law city. A general law city is bound by the state’s general law, regardless of whether the subject concerns a municipal affair. A charter city has supreme authority over “municipal affairs” and thus can govern on matters of the City. Under the proposed charter, the City would retain its council-manager form of government. Matters of municipal affairs that would be modified under the proposed charter include term limits, prosecuting authority, economic development matters, purchasing and contracts authority, and preference for Veterans in awarding contracts permitted by law.

Before submitting the proposed charter to the voters, the City Council held at least two public hearings on the charter as required by Government Code Section 34458. The first public hearing was held on March 10, 2026 and the second public hearing was held on a non-regular, special meeting date on April 21, 2026. Before submitting the proposed charter to the voters, the City Council is holding a final public hearing on the charter as required by Government Code Section 34458.

For further details on this proposal, please contact Ericka Hernandez, City Clerk, at (626) 569-2100 or ehernandez@rosemeadca. gov. In addition, the City Council Agenda and Staff Report will be available on the City’s website under Agendas and Meetings at www.rosemeadca.gov at least 72 hours in advance of the public hearing. Any person interested in the above proceedings may appear at the time and place indicated above to testify in support of, or in opposition to, the item(s) indicated in this notice.

Man pleads not guilty in Burbank attack that killed mother, injured daughter

By City News Service

A30-year-oldman accusedoffatally stabbing an elementary school teacher in her Burbank home and critically injuring her adult daughter pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of murder, attempted murder and firstdegree burglary.

Sergio Fraire was ordered held without bail Thursday.

A preliminary hearing date was set for June 12 at the Pasadena Courthouse.

The murder charge against Fraire includes a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait, which could open him to a possible death sentence if prosecutors choose to pursue it.

Fraire was arrested by a SWAT team around 10 p.m. April 20 and was being held in lieu of $2 million bail, according to Los Angeles County

sheriff’s inmate records. He was arrested at a home in the 500 block of East Palm Avenue in Burbank, where he was believed to have been staying, according to Burbank Police Department Lt. Brent Fekety.

Evidence connected to the stabbings was collected at the Palm Avenue residence, Fekety said. The relationship, if any, between the suspect and the victims remained under investigation, as was the motive for the violence.

The stabbings were reported about 6 a.m April 20 at a single-family house in the 2800 block of North Brighton Street, police said.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said Fraire broke into the victims’ home between about 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. while they were asleep, then entered a bedroom around 6 a.m. and

victims.

The San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust has elected new leadership as the agency continues its efforts to expand affordable housing across the region, officials announced Thursday. Baldwin Park Councilmember Emmanuel J. Estrada was elected board chair, while Alhambra Vice Mayor Adele Andrade-Stadler will serve as vice chair, according to the agency.

the mother, 59-year- old Arti Varma, was pronounced dead. Her 25-year-old daughter, identified by neighbors as Meera Varma, was hospitalized in critical condition but was considered stable, Fekety said. Arti Varma was a first-grade teacher at Bret Harte Elementary School in Burbank.

“Arti Varma was a deeply beloved elementary school teacher who was senselessly taken from her family and community in an act of horrific violence, leaving an entire community grieving in its wake,” District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a statement.

“We will take every necessary step to ensure that the defendant is held accountable for this vicious and unprovoked attack,” Hochman added.

and construction of affordable and supportive housing across the region.

“We look forward to building on that strong foundation with our new Chair and Vice Chair,” Executive Director Marisa Creter said in a statement. “As we continue to address the region’s housing crisis, we remain focused on innovative financing and collaborative solutions to accelerate the construction of safe, affordable housing.”

Estrada, a Baldwin Park resident, has served on the

City Council since 2020 and previously made history as one of the city’s youngest mayors, officials said. His work has focused on expanding affordable housing, improving community health and investing in education and job training programs.

Andrade-Stadler, first elected to the Alhambra City Council in 2018, previously served 14 years on the Alhambra Unified School District Board of Education and currently serves as vice chair of the Los Angeles County Department of Social

Services.

Officials said the housing trust has helped fund more than 900 units of affordable housing and about 130 interim housing shelter units since its formation in 2020, providing support for lowincome and unhoused residents across the San Gabriel Valley.

The agency was created to leverage local, state and federal funding to accelerate the development of housing projects and expand access to affordable housing throughout the region.

LArti Varma was the second Bret Harte Elementary School teacher to be killed in the past two years. On May 7, 2024, 57-year-old kindergarten teacher Karyn Lombardo was killed in her Burbank home, allegedly by her son. Meera Varma is a mentalhealth advocate working with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and a TEDx speaker on mental health issues, according to her LinkedIn page. She wrote on her page that she was the youngest speaker in the history of TEDxUCLA, and she has appeared or spoken at events featuring Oprah Winfrey and former President Joe Biden.

Anyone with additional information was urged to contact the Burbank Police Department’s Investigation Division at 818-238-3210.

LA County stormwater capture jumps to 120 billion gallons

osAngelesCounty was benefiting from a significant boost to its groundwater supply Thursday after capturing more than 120 billion gallons of stormwater during the 2025-26 storm season, officials said.

The total of 120.3 billion gallons collected between October and April 15 marks a dramatic rise from the 11.9 billion gallons captured during the prior storm season, according to county officials.

The water is expected to recharge aquifers with enough supply to meet the needs of about 3 million

people for a year.

Downtown Los Angeles recorded 16.9 inches of rainfall during the season, about 110% of its annual average, according to county officials. By comparison, the previous year brought just 6.6 inches, less than half the typical annual total of 15.4 inches.

Officials said stormwater captured in reservoirs and spreading grounds reached 185% of average for this time of year.

“Capturing more stormwater here in Los Angeles County is one of the most powerful opportunities we

By City News Service

have right now to strengthen our local water supply,”

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said in a statement. “Investments in stormwater infrastructure allow us to store more of the rainfall our region receives and put it to use for our communities.”

County Public Works officials pointed to a combination of weather and system performance.

“This season’s rainfall translated into a significant increase in stormwater capture, which reflects the performance of the County’s flood control infrastructure, as well as

our coordinated stormwater management efforts,” said Mark Pestrella, director of Los Angeles County Public Works.

Officials said the county will continue investing in stormwater capture through infrastructure upgrades, sediment removal and improved reservoir operations to maximize storage capacity.

Horvath is scheduled to convene the county’s third annual Water Summit in May to bring together regional leaders to discuss long-term water resilience strategies.

Feds conduct LA, Orange County raids, arrest suspected Mexican mafia members

By City News Service

Federalagentsserved arrestwarrantsat

multiple locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties early Thursday, arresting more than two dozen alleged members or associates of the notorious Mexican Mafia prison gang.

Raids took place at locations in Lakewood, Anaheim and Santa Ana as part of what FBI Director Kash Patel called “Operation Gangster’s Paradise.”

“Alleged murderers, drug dealers and racketeers, all taken down,” Patel wrote on social media. “This group is also known as `La Eme,’ the `gang of gangs,’ known to control nearly every Hispanic street gang in the California region.”

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, 25 alleged members and associates of the gang were arrested Thursday in connection with three federal indictments charging the defendants with counts such as kidnapping, extortion, drug trafficking, illegal gambling and a murder at an

Anaheim motel controlled by the gang. A total of 43 defendants are named in the indictments.

Fifteen of those arrested Thursday were expected in court Thursday in Santa Ana, while 10 others were scheduled to make initial appearances in Los Angeles. Twelve defendants were already in state custody in connection with other matters and are expected to appear in court in Santa Ana in the coming weeks, prosecutors said.

In addition to the arrests, federal agents taking part in Thursday’s raids seized 8.8 pounds of fentanyl, 120 pounds of methamphetamine, two pounds of heroin, 6.6 pounds of cocaine, 25 firearms and more than $30,000 in cash, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The main indictment in the case alleges that defendant Luis Cardenas, 48, who was an inmate at Ironwood State Prison, oversaw Mexican Mafia operations in Orange County -- including at other jails and prisons. He allegedly

used an encrypted messaging application on contraband cell phones to issue orders directing the gang’s activities. Those directions included kidnappings and assaults, prosecutors said.

Among the crimes alleged in the indictments was a February 2025 killing at the Akua Inn, a gang-controlled motel in Anaheim. Prosecutors said Matthew Kundrat, 29, of Anaheim, and Manuel Ramos, 45, of Santa Ana, carried out the killing “for the purpose of gaining entrance to the Mexican Mafia and increasing their standing in the criminal enterprise.”

Kundrat and Ramos were charged with committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity and could potentially face the death penalty, prosecutors said.

Kundrat and Ramos were charged in state court last year with capital murder in the Feb. 5, 2025, killing of 63-year-old Christopher David Craddick of Anaheim, a registered sex offender whose body was found in the Akua Motor Inn,

Two contract workers at Los Angeles International Airport who were arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling were scheduled to make initial appearances in court Thursday.

The arrested suspects were identified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office as Alejandro Medina Beltran, 23, of Compton, and Luis Armando Valenzuela, 29, of Inglewood. Both were arrested at the airport on

Tuesday.

Both are charged with felony possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The charges the men face carry a mandatory 10-year minimum sentence and a maximum of life in prison, prosecutors said.

The investigation was ongoing, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman.

The talks between local elected officials and the Trump administration indicate an official recognition of the challenges fire survivors face dealing with insurers. Fire survivors have said dealing with insurance companies to file claims is the biggest hurdle to recovery.

“We are so happy, after 15 months of survivor organizing and bringing forward our experiences with insurance, that our government leaders are coming together to address the urgent need for insurance accountability,” Joy Chen, executive director of Every Fire Survivor’s network, told

HeySoCal.com.

Chen noted the forthcoming launch of “the first wildfire insurance survey, which will for the first time provide data on how insurers are actually performing in this recovery. We hope this data will empower the public response that’s urgently needed to move this recovery forward,” Chen said. “Insurers urgently need to be held accountable, and we very much welcome and will support any actions that our government leaders take to do that.”

drugs.”

Valle-Lopez said the two were arrested but provided no details.

“As this is an ongoing investigation, no additional information is available at this time,” she said while referring further questions to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.

No pleas will be taken at Thursday’s hearing, according to prosecutors.

State Sen. Sasha Renée Pérez, D-Pasadena, led a news conference to discuss the four bills that likely will go to the Senate Insurance Committee for consideration.

Senate Bill 877 aims to bring transparency to loss estimates, SB 878 aims to penalize insurers for making unnecessary delays in paying claims and SB 1076 aims to secure access to coverage for homeowners who make their homes fire-safe. The fourth bill, SB 1301, aims to give consumers more time to correct any problems before losing coverage.
