Months after the body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas was found in his car, reports state that singer D4vd could face murder charges.
D4vd to face murder charges
Amidst an ongoing investigation into the death of the teen girl, TMZ has reported that the singer could likely face murder charges with prosecutors likely to pursue the case through a grand jury that has the authority to issue indictments.
This update comes after the TMZ report suggested that the panel was an 'investigative grand jury', one which typically gathers evidence and witness testimonies, but does not determine criminal charges.
D4vd romantically linked to minor
According to the report, prosecutors, including Beth Silverman, reportedly believe that D4vd was involved in the death of the teen, who has since been romantically linked to him.
Following viral social media posts linking the two, authorities later confirmed that the two had a relationship and were known to each other.
