D4vd was taken out of his home in handcuffs, surrounded by officers from the LAPD, after he was arrested Thursday.
Video footage obtained by The California Post shows the singer with his hands behind his back as he’s led down a residential street in the Hollywood Hills.
The singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, had not been seen for months prior to his arrest Thursday afternoon. He emerged wearing gray sweatpants and a black hoodie and seemed expressionless.
A neighbor told The Post she witnessed “so many cops” on the street just before the singer was taken into custody. One officer was on a loudspeaker outside the home shouting “Surrender!,” according to the neighbor.
Authorities swarmed the Hollywood Hills home where the singer was staying to make the arrest.
“We came to the home with a probably cause arrest warrant for him,” LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division commanding officer Capt. Scot M. Williams confirmed to The California Post on the scene.
“We did the best we can to keep tabs on him, but once we developed probable cause to arrest him for murder, then we were on him pretty diligently,” Williams said.

The LAPD confirmed to The Post that Burke was arrested for the murder of Celeste Rivas. The dismembered body of the 14-year-old was discovered in the back of a Tesla belonging to D4vd back in September after employees in a tow yard smelled a foul odor coming from the vehicle.
“Detectives from Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery-Homicide Division have arrested David Burke, a 21-year-old resident of Los Angeles, for the murder of Celeste Rivas. Burke is being held without bail. The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office on Monday for filing consideration,” an LAPD release said.
“Our office is aware of the arrest of David Anthony Burke by the Los Angeles Police Department. The case is expected to be presented to the Major Crimes Division, at which point prosecutors will review the facts and evidence to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to file charges,” a release from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said.
“At this time, additional information is not available. We will share an update on Monday once a filing decision has been made,” the release continued.
Rivas’ family reported her missing in April 2025.
