Homicide Investigation Leads to Arrest at Hollywood Hills Residence
Police reported that detectives from a specialist homicide unit arrested the singer at his Hollywood Hills residence. This action followed an ongoing and intensive investigation into the tragic death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas. While officials have not released the full details of the case at this time, they have confirmed that prosecutors from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office are meticulously reviewing all available evidence.

Legal Team Denies Allegations and Vows to Defend Innocence
In a strongly worded statement, D4vd's legal team has vehemently denied the allegations.
