(
NewsNation) —
D4vd’s manager has denied knowing anything about teenager
Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s disappearance and refuted claims he received an email about her before she died.
Josh Marshall, who manages the R&B singer and is the founder of Mogul Vision, commented on a TikTok, saying he has “zero knowledge of anything” after Hernandez was found dead in the trunk of a
Tesla Model X registered to D4vd on Sept. 8.
He confirmed to
LA Magazine that he wrote a statement posted under a TikTok video about the case.

“I do feel he has possibly consulted with a lawyer, which is maybe why he didn’t bring Celeste’s name up at all, and he really didn’t say anything else besides a denial of knowing anything,” Los Angeles Magazine contributor Lauren Conlin told
NewsNation’s Ashleigh Banfield Monday.
Hernandez had been missing since April 2024, when she was just 13.
“This news is tragic for so many and for her family,” Marshall wrote. “I hope the proper authorities get to the bottom of it soon. Let me remind people a lot of this is speculation and alleged.”
Marshall also denied ever receiving an email from Hernandez’s family after she was reported missing for the final time as a runaway in 2024. The letter was sent by “Adults in Celeste’s life.”

The day after the email was sent, Hernandez returned home.
“He was just, like, ‘No, I never received any email,'” Conlin said. “I have no knowledge.”

Celeste Rivas Hernandez died weeks before discovery in D4vd’s Tesla
The Los Angeles Police Department said Sunday that Rivas Hernandez’s body was likely in
D4vd’s Tesla weeks before she was found.
D4vd’s Tesla was reported abandoned to authorities Aug. 26.
LAPD Captain and Commanding Officer Scot M. Williams said while there are still questions about her death, “We know for sure that Celeste Rivas Hernandez died and someone placed her body in the front trunk area of David Burke’s (D4vd’s legal name) Tesla.”
Private investigator Steve Fischer obtained the initial complaint report, vehicle impound report and photos of D4vd’s Tesla from when it was declared abandoned.

He told Banfield that neighbors noticed the car had been parked in the same spot for a while.
To be towed from a street where there were no parking restrictions, “It had to be there quite a while,” Fischer added.
Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s cause of death still undetermined
Hernandez’s cause of death still hasn’t been determined, according to authorities.
“The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has
not determined a cause or manner of her death, so we don’t know for sure if anyone has any criminal culpability for her death beyond the concealment of her dead body,” Williams said.
Police have yet to charge anyone in her death.
