Meanwhile His attorneys, Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter, said in a statement, saying, “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."

They added, "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.”

The arrest comes two months after the artist was named in a grand jury probe, with prosecutors saying D4vd may be linked to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
