D4vd May Face Grand Jury Indictment in Ongoing Celeste Rivas Case

Authorities are continuing to investigate the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, and multiple reports indicate that a grand jury is expected to consider potential charges involving singer D4vd. The case remains active, and no charges have been formally announced by law enforcement at this time.

Sources familiar with the proceedings say the grand jury hearing testimony in the case is authorized to vote on indictments, rather than serving solely as an investigative body. Prosecutors are reportedly presenting evidence related to Rivas’ death, though details of that evidence have not been publicly disclosed. Rivas’ body was discovered inside a Tesla registered to D4vd after the vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills area in September. Following the discovery, police executed a search warrant at a nearby rental home where the artist had reportedly been staying. Items seized during the search were not fully detailed publicly, and court records connected to the case were later sealed.

Authorities have stated that D4vd was known to the victim and had some form of relationship with her. He initially cooperated with investigators, according to reports, but later postponed tour appearances as the investigation progressed. A grand jury differs from a trial jury in that it does not determine guilt or innocence. Instead, it evaluates whether there is sufficient evidence for prosecutors to file formal criminal charges. If an indictment is issued, the case would then proceed through the court system, where the accused would have the opportunity to respond to the charges.

At this stage, prosecutors have not publicly confirmed whether an indictment will be issued, and Los Angeles Police Department officials have declined to comment on potential charges. As of now, no public arrest or charging announcement has been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. Legal experts note that grand jury proceedings are typically confidential, which limits the amount of information available to the public until a formal decision is reached

All parties involved are presumed innocent unless and until proven otherwise in a court of law.
