D4vd’s lawyers are criticizing LA authorities for detaining the singer without charge.
For those unaware, the 24-year-old singer was detained by the LAPD on Thursday on suspicion of murdering a teenage girl, Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The 14-year-old girl was last seen alive a year ago, and her dismembered remains were found in Tesla in September.
“The Homicide Division has arrested 21-year-old Los Angeles resident David Burke for the murder of Celeste Rivas. Burke is being held without bail,” authorities shared in a statement.
According to the law enforcement department, the case “will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office on Monday for filing of opinion.”
Following D4vd’s shocking arrest, the ‘Here With Me’ singer’s lawyers, Blair Burke, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter, have released a joint statement.
He said, “Let us be clear – the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and that he did not cause her death.”
“No indictment has been returned by a grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint has been filed. David is detained only under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence,” the lawyers said in a statement to TMZ.
