Neo Langston, an alleged close friend of singer D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) was arrested Thursday evening in Helena, Montana, for an out-of-jurisdiction warrant for Los Angeles County for Failure to Appear, Los Angeles was told by the senior detention officer at Lewis and Clark County Detention Center.
Langston was booked into the Lewis & Clark County Jail at 5:56 p.m. on Jan. 22, 2026, according to the Helena Police Department. A call-for-service document obtained byLos Angeles shows officers apprehended Langston on Knight Street in Helena, though police declined to comment on the underlying case that led to the warrant. Langston currently remains in custody, Helena police said. Knight st. is a mainly residential area, per Helena locals. A photographer for Helena Online posted photos on X showing Langston being hand-cuffed on the steps of a residence wearing a grey hoodie, brown beanie, and navy blue sweats.

AsLos Angeles previously reported, a grand jury in Los Angeles has convened in connection with the ongoing investigation into the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were discovered on September 8, 2025, inside the front trunk of a Tesla registered to Burke. LAPD has not publicly disclosed whether Langston is connected or expected to testify before the panel; however, the current news of his arrest would indicate he’s needed.
Burke and Langston once appeared frequently together on social media. But in the months following the discovery of Hernandez’s body, Langston appeared to delete or archive most images linking him to the singer.

Interesting.

After months of speculation, there is ostensibly official confirmation of a case involving D4vd and the state of California.

D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is reportedly considered a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez after police discovered her body Sept. 8 in a Tesla that belonged to the musician.

According to legal documents obtained by NewsNation, Burke’s father, mother and brother filed a petition claiming that a court order was issued for them to testify in a California proceeding.

Dawud Burke claimed the summons violates his due process rights, given their residence in the state of Texas. A Texas appeals court disagreed, with a footnote of the ruling displaying a case name: “The people of the state of California versus David Burke.”

It is the first time a formal case name has appeared in any court document connected to this investigation; the files are still sealed.

Steve Fischer, a missing person private investigator who is representing the owner of the property where Burke had reportedly been staying, made the discovery. Photos obtained by Fischer were taken allegedly two days before Rivas-Hernandez was last seen Dec. 31, 2024, and appear to show Burke and friends inside his home that night.

Rivas-Hernandez is not clearly visible, but in this photo, an iPhone believed to be hers is sitting on a table, The iPhone appears connected to the home’s Wi-Fi, meaning router logs could show who was inside that house, and when.

“It will give the time and date that you were there, and how long you were connected,” Fischer told NewsNation.

Fischer told NewsNation the photos came from a camera belonging to D4vd that was left in the Hollywood Hills rental; the camera apparently contained a plethora of other photos.

Hopefully they start moving on this soon.
 
Court documents reveal new details in Celeste Rivas murder case

Warning: The content below contains a graphic description of a child's death.
Court documents filed in Texas reveal LAPD detectives and LA County prosecutors sought to force the father, mother, and brother of pop singer D4vd to testify before a grand jury investigating the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose remains were found inside a Tesla sedan that was impounded and brought to a tow yard.
D4vd, whose real name is David Burke, is suspected of murdering Rivas Hernandez, according to newly unsealed records that had been sent to the Texas court, in order to compel the testimony of Burke's parents and brother.
Burke had not previously been publicly named as a suspect, though law enforcement sources told NBC4 Investigates months ago he was the focus of the investigation.

Court orders Celeste Rivas death details sealed​


Los Angeles Nov 18, 2025

Singer D4vd identified as suspect in connection with death of Celeste Rivas, LAPD says​

The court filings, which would ordinarily be sealed while a secret grand jury investigation was in progress, were made public in recent weeks because Burke's family members tried to block their enforcement by going to a judge in Texas, who denied those challenges.
According to the filing in LA Superior Court to compel the appearance of an out-of-state witness, prosecutors wrote that Rivas Hernandez's remains were discovered on Sept. 8 after a tow yard manager reported the smell of decay coming from the Tesla, which was registered to Burke.
"Detectives obtained a search warrant for the vehicle and when the front storage compartment was opened, detectives observed a black cadaver bag covered with insects and a strong odor of decay," the filing said.
Detectives opened the bag and saw a human head and torso, then discovered a second black bag with dismembered body parts.
The Texas judge rejected the efforts to block the enforcement of the demands for testimony Feb. 2, according to a transcript of a hearing.
The Burke witnesses were ordered to appear for testimony the week of Feb. 9, but because grand jury proceedings are secret until an indictment is produced, it's not known if they ever appeared.
Citing the ongoing investigation the LA County Department of Medical Examiner removed public information about the case last November, which indicated at the time that the cause of Rivas Hernandez's death was still undetermined.
Law enforcement sources told NBC4 Investigates last year that they believe Rivas Hernandez died in the spring of 2025, and that more than one person may have been involved in her death and the attempted disposal of her body.
Rivas Hernandez was last seen alive in April 2024, authorities said.
LAPD detectives searched a home in the Hollywood Hills where Burke was said to be living and were seen removing bags and various items of potential evidence. The home was not far from the street where the Tesla was ticketed and impounded in early September.
Burke was not cooperating with law enforcement, the sources said.
Calls to an attorney believed to be representing Burke have not been returned.

Family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez makes first public statement after D4vd charged with teen's murder

Celeste Rivas Hernandez's family released their first public statement after singer D4vd was charged with the 14-year-old's murder and pleaded not guilty.

Family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez makes first public statement after D4vd charged with teen's murder​

The family of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the teenage girl who was found dismembered in a Tesla belonging to musician D4vd last year, released their first public statement on Tuesday after the alt-pop singer was charged with first-degree murder in the 14-year-old's death.

"We would like to thank the Los Angeles Police Department and the District Attorney's Office for their hard work. We would also like to thank the people of Lake Elsinore for all their support. Celeste was a beautiful, strong girl who loved to sing and dance. Every Friday night was movie night and we spent wonderful times together," the family wrote. "We love her very much and she always told us that she loved us. We miss her deeply. All we want is justice for Celeste."

Celeste's family attended D4vd's first court appearance on Monday afternoon. They were expected to provide a statement through their attorney outside of the courtroom, but the press conference was canceled.

D4vd was formally charged with murder and other counts in connection with the "brutal and horrific" killing of Celeste on Monday.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman outlined the charges at a press conference, where he was accompanied by Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell.

Additional charges against D4vd include "continuous sexual acts, lewd and lascivious sexual acts with an individual under 14 years old, and mutilating the human remains of a body," according to the district attorney.

D4vd made his first appearance in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom for his arraignment on Monday and pleaded not guilty to all charges. He will remain in custody on no bail and is scheduled to appear in court again on Thursday.

"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. We will vigorously defend David's innocence," his attorneys wrote in a statement on Monday.

Hochman says D4vd had a long-term sexual relationship with the underage girl while he was an adult, and he killed her to protect his career -- dismembering her and leaving her body in his car.

"These charges include the most serious charges that a D.A.'s office can bring -- that is, first-degree murder with special circumstances," Hochman told reporters. "The special circumstances being lying in wait, committing this crime for financial gain, or murdering a witness in an investigation."


The 21-year-old singer faces a maximum sentence of life, without the possibility of parole, or the death penalty, Hochman said. The DA said his office will decide whether to seek the death penalty at a later time.

Hochman says investigators have physical, forensic and digital evidence proving that when Celeste threatened to publicly expose D4vd for having a sexual relationship with her, D4vd invited her to his home, killed her with a sharp instrument, then cut her body into pieces. All, Hochman alleges, to protect his entertainment career.

"This murder was committed for financial gain, as the evidence will show in court. The financial gain was for Mr. Burke to maintain his very lucrative musical career that Celeste was threatening," Hochman said.
