Case Summary

Singer D4vd, who is charged with killing a 14-year-old girl whose dismembered body was found in the trunk of his Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard, took “horrifying” steps to destroy the teen’s corpse, prosecutors wrote in a graphic court brief filed Wednesday, with the defendant using a “chain saw and perhaps other tools” to remove her limbs. Attorneys for D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, implored Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo to seal the prosecution’s court document to prevent its public release, but Olmedo refused the request. Olmedo scheduled a preliminary hearing in the case for May 26, while a status hearing was set for May 12.
